Who is the closest extant cousin of humans? Total-evidence approach to hominid phylogenetics via simultaneous optimization

2011-04-01

Abstract excerpt

J. R. Grehan & J. H. Schwartz (Journal of Biogeography, 2009, 36, 1823-1844) argued that humans (Homo) are more closely related to orangutans (Pongo) than to chimpanzees (Pan), and used this scenario to draw biogeographical conclusions about human origins. They discussed a contradiction between phenotypical and molecular results that has led to a debate about the reliability of genetic versus phenotypic data. The...
