Negative correlation between mean female age at first birth and rates of molecular evolution in primates, with predictions of the reproductive age in early hominins

2020-08-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> mtDNA-based phylogenetic trees of the order Primates were constructed by the minimum evolution (ME) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods. Branch lengths were compared with the mean female age at first birth in the taxa studied. Higher reproductive age in females triggers a lower number of generations through time and, on average, at the molecular level smaller evolutionary distances between relat...
