Paleontological evidence to date the tree of life
MJ Benton, PCJ Donoghue - Molecular biology and evolution, 2007 - academic.oup.com
The role of fossils in dating the tree of life has been misunderstood. Fossils can provide
good “minimum” age estimates for branches in the tree, but “maximum” constraints on those …
