Re: walking with beasts fact files
While we're venting our peeves, I must say I am much bothered by the
implication in the phylogram that there was some sort of unified "ape" lineage
after the "hominids" branched off. Maybe by "apes" they meant "gibbons" (which
do account for the majority of living ape species)? In that case, the "ape"
and "hominid" lineages should have split way before the Pliocene.
