A Suspicious Pattern of Deletions
Winston Ewert recently published a paper in BIO-Complexity suggesting that life is better explained by a dependency graph than by a phylogenetic tree.

The evolution of life mimics the evolution of software or other human technology.
Of Species and Software: What Is a Dependency Graph?
Wisnton Ewert has developed a model to explain the pattern of similarities in different organisms which mimics how computer applications inherit software from a diverse range of lower-level modules.
Response to a Critic: But What About Undirected Graphs?
A dependency graph is not any old ad hoc hypothesis. It was posited because it is something that we observe in software engineering.
The Dependency Graph Hypothesis — How It Is Inferred
Ewert proposes that life is best explained not by Darwin’s hypothesis of an ancestry tree, but by a modern design-inspired hypothesis.
