“I think genetics is going to be an increasingly
important tool because we’re beginning to appreciate
more and more that the diversity that we’ve
already catalogued is probably only a fraction of
what is truly out there. This is where the DNA analysis
comes in, because if organisms share an
evolutionary
history
, then they have a shared genome at some
stage in the past.”—David Johnston, Biological
Researcher, Natural History Museum, London
