Abstract

This paper reports the results of an attempt to recover the first‐order subgrouping of the Indo‐European family using a new computational method devised by the authors and based on a ‘perfect phylogeny’ algorithm. The methodology is also briefly described, and points of theory and methodology are addressed in connection with the experiment whose results are here reported.
