Even so, since such other approaches to classification as the use of shared innovations seem no more reliable, Black prefers to take advantage of the evidence of both types of approaches. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2007 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
