Re: Dinosaurs Phylogenetic Tree for Matlab.

["Dora Smith" <villandra@austin.rr.com>]

My bad.  Just because not only does the word contain the word "genetics", 
but all phylogenetic studies of both birds and humans are actual studies of 
genetic relationships, I should think that phylogenetic studies of dinosaurs 
would be studies of dinosaur genetics.

But maybe I'm the only one of the three of us who could have read 
phylogenetic studies of birds and humans.
