Abstract
A deductive approach has to be chosen to resolve the phylogenetic relationships of prokaryotes since they lack the ontogeny and fossil records of higher organisms. It should be possible by comparative analyses of homologous macromolecules that are universally distributed among organisms, show a high degree of functional constancy and are sufficiently conserved to span the full evolutionary spectrum.
