Finally, the pheneticist is wrong in asserting that.    From Wordnik.com.  [Dictionary of the History of Ideas] Reference

If it is a vicious circle, both evolutionist and pheneticist would be trapped, but the circle is benign.    From Wordnik.com.  [Dictionary of the History of Ideas] Reference

Suppose the pheneticist deduced from his clusters a presumptive phylogenetic sequence which happened to be incon - sistent with the temporal relations in the fossil record.    From Wordnik.com.  [Dictionary of the History of Ideas] Reference

The pheneticist must admit that his oper - ational homology is neither theory-free nor unbiased with regard to phylogenetic hypotheses, and that the evolutionary taxonomist is not necessarily unscientific for his lack of simple measuring operations.    From Wordnik.com.  [Dictionary of the History of Ideas] Reference

Both propositions appear to be incongruent with standard theoretical perspectives on species themselves, since these perspectives are (a) non-pheneticist, and (b) tend to disregard intermediate cases.    From Wordnik.com.  [Post-Darwinist] Reference

In place of these putatively objectionable practices, the pheneticist, and in particular, the numerical tax - onomist, wishes to substitute less biased, more reliable methods (Sokal and Sneath, 1963); therefore, they have introduced “operational homology” (Sokal and Camin.    From Wordnik.com.  [Dictionary of the History of Ideas] Reference
