Evolutionary trees have traditionally been constructed on the basis of
comparative anatomy; since 1963, we've had molecular clocks of various
sorts, and the betting is that comparisons of DNA sequences will be much
more definitive.  See Roger Lewin's news article in last week's SCIENCE
for a good rundown.
