Abstract

Can pieces of art be related to each other in the way that biological species can? In living things, phylogenic links are forged by the inheritance of genetic material; in culture, by influential ideas. Artworks may not have genomes, but they do contain information. Basic phylogenetic methodology may be applied to create a more scientific study of art history.
