Ornitologia e dintorni

How are birds related?  This is not just an academic question.  Every living thing is the end-product of an evolutionary history and carries the evidence of that descent.  Until recently there were only two ways to reconstruct this history:  from the fossil record and from the constitution and distribution of living things.  Now there is a third: the comparative studies of DNA and its byproducts, which form the basis of the work of Charles Sibley and his collaborators.
