The discussed model is designed for investigation of peculiarities and dynamics of the growth of evolutionary trees. The model is realized in FORTRAN, properties and principles of interaction of populations being the basis of this model. The results obtained reveal an extreme dependence of the pattern of evolutionary process from the parameters of competition, as well as the fact that evolutionary trees plotted with incomplete number of characters may be entirely different from real ones. It is concluded that many of the known evolutionary phenomena may be sufficiently described by a quantitative model based on the Darwinian principles.
