Here's more information about that picture:<br /><br />All unmarked nodes have bootstrap support (relative certainty) of 100%. <br />Nodes with green circles have bootstrap proportions<70%,<br />Grey circles 71–80%<br />Black circles 81–90% <br />Red circles 91–99%. <br /><br />Boxes indicate genus of species that have been at least partially sequenced. <br /><br />Numbers in parenthesis next to each genus indicate number of species present in study followed by the total number described.<br />Numbers in parentheses next to family names indicate number of genera included in study followed by total described. <br /><br />Numbers in bold refer back to other figures in the paper, so never mind them.<br /><br />Letters A-H on nodes refer to fossil dates used for calibration of tree as follows <br />A) Galagidae-Lorisidae split 38–42 MYA<br />B) Simiiformes emerge 36–50 MYA,<br />C) Catarrhini emerge 20–38 MYA<br />D) Platyrrhini emerge 20–27 MYA<br />E) Tribe Papionini emerge 6–8 MYA<br />F) Theropithecus emerge 3.5–4.5 MYA<br />G) Family Hominidae emerge 13–18 MYA<br />H) Homo-Pan split 6–7 MYA.<br /><br />Hope this helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328719893067978848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019617825726044687.post-85045243443112643472012-06-12T17:08:38.121-07:002012-06-12T17:08:38.121-07:00The "New and improved primate family tree&quo...The "New and improved primate family tree" is very helpful and well made. What do the letters (from A to H), the numbers (inside and outside brackets) and the colored spots represent? Many thanks.<br />DonatoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
