 The score function itself is recursive (it calls itself), which isn't a bad way to search through a tree (in this case, a phylogenic tree) mind you.  However he threw 4 different ideas into a single recursive function.  It searches for offspring, highlights offspring, draws family lines, and searches for the oldest ancestor.  Granted they're somewhat closely related functions, but recursive functions are a headache enough in and of themselves without 4 different ideas thrown in there.
