Armand de Ricqlès' research focuses on the history of life, the mechanisms underlying this history and the successive interpretations that have been made of it.
He is the bearer of a revolutionary, little-used theory that overturns classical thinking applied to the classification of species. Cladism stands in stark contrast to the traditional gradist, anthropocentric and finalistic systematics that still forms the basis of knowledge for the general public and decision-makers alike.
It brings clarity and rationality to the concepts and methods of naturalists, so that bio-diversity is, and will be, better understood. The stakes are high in this day and age.
