I work on the phylogeny of one of the mammal groups but sometimes I wonder, why exactly am I doing this? What's the point in studying phylogenetics? Is there any direct benefits of my study for society or its just a waste of time and money for my own personal interest (like papers, promotion, get a good postdoc, etc.)?
