The eighteenth Meeting of the Willi Hennig Society will be held in Göttingen, Germany, 12-17 September 1999. You are cordially invited to attend.A fusion of various attempts to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships can be observed, with advanced molecular methods, detailed morphological and ethological studies etc. now beingviewed as almost equally valuable. Therefore we have, after some time of controversial discussion on methods, chosen the general title "Phylogeny and Evolution" to lay emphasis on a areunification of phylogenetists.In 1999, the Willi Hennig Society will meet for the first time in Germany, where the founder of phylogenetic systematics, or cladistics, Willi Hennig, was born in 1913. Therefore, thescientific meeting will begin with a few presentations on the early history and the roots of phylogenetic systematics.General information (see also )The Scientific session will be held in the lecture hall of the Institute of Education (Institut für Erziehungswissenschaften, Waldweg 24).
