Sinai Tschulok (1875–1945)—a pioneer of Cladistics

Abstract: Sinai Tschulok emigrated from the Ukraine to Switzerland, where he studied natural sciences, in particular biology. He founded and managed his own high school, which prepared students for entry to university-level education. This left him little time for research, which may explain why his work largely fell into oblivion.

“…In the process, different organs evolve at different rates, which in turn gives rise to the "mixing" of specializations, the heterobathmy of characters also sometimes referred to as mosaic evolution (DeBeer, 1954;Werth and Shear, 2014). Sinai Tschulok (1875Tschulok ( -1945, a pioneer of phylogenetic systematics (Rieppel, 2010), was keenly aware of conflicting character distribution, which he called the "transgression" of characters (Tschulok, 1922: 147). His proposal to untangle phylogenetic relationships in the face of such transgression of characters was: "the conditio sine qua non for the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees is the distinction of the primitive and derived condition of form" (Tschulok, 1922: 197).…”

“…The importance of parsing homologous characters into those that denoted unique common ancestry and those that denoted more ancient common ancestry was recognized by several workers in the early half of the twentieth century. Willmann (2003) provides a detailed account of the early development of phylogenetics and points out many of the contributions of Hennig's predecessors such as Sinai Tschulok, who provided criteria for parsing primitive and derived characters and the idea that it was the characters that are primitive and derived and not the whole organism (see Willmann 2003 andRieppel 2010, for discussions of Tschulok's contributions). But it was Hennig who melded these concepts and brought them to a wider audience.…”

“…His own magnum opus on the foundations of the natural system, comparative anatomy and phylogenetics (Remane ), can indeed be seen as an elaboration of Gegebaur's earlier programme. In that same tradition, Remane () was also influenced by Sinai Tschulok (1875–1945; Rieppel ) and Adolf Naef (1927–1949; Reif ; Boletzky ; Breidbach ; Williams and Ebach ; Rieppel ). But Remane's interests expanded to issues of functional anatomy, ecology and biogeography as well as invertebrate systematics, and he earned a place in the history of biology as the discoverer of the interstitial fauna of sandy beaches.…”
