Molecular evidence from the nuclear genome for the time frame of human evolution.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jan 1997

Easteal S, Herbert G

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary divergence times can be inferred from molecular distances if a molecular clock can be assumed and if the substitution rate can be estimated. We present new evidence from relative rate tests that the rate of substitution at fourfold degenerate sites of nuclear genome-coding DNA is uniform in primate and rodent lineages. We also review recent relative rate test results showing substitution rate...
