This paper adopts a new approach to phylogenetic analysis that captures large-scale, biologically meaningful shape variation, treats the data using conventional statistical approaches and uses the output to inform a cladistic analysis. Their test case, applied to the human lineage, could provide a benchmark for future studies of the evolutionary relationships of groups in which there are many similar members.
