Trees vs. Rhizomes The opposition is misleading tho, but it does boil down to a question of heredity and filiation. Once filiation, or influence from the outside, is factored in variation is no longer defined from a single point searching its own space of possibilities.

I think the tree vs network (rhizome) distinction is domain-specific. For example, ideas are easy to recombine, hence they form a phylogenetic network, while biological evolution is more tree-like.

True, but they explicitly oppose the treepicture of evolution by pointing out the influence of contagion and symbioses in the changes of species. Though I agree it is mostly treelike, to which they add the rhizome, as the treepicture misses stuff.

There are some intriguing rhizomatic complications at the margins of most cladistic structures -- but D&G vastly over-rate their consequence.

... For instance, their beloved "c-virus" (retrotranscription) doesn't scramble the genetic record very much.
