Genomic Data Support the Hominoid Slowdown and an Early Oligocene Estimate for the Hominoid-Cercopithecoid Divergence

Several lines of indirect evidence suggest that hominoids (apes and humans) and cercopithecoids (Old World monkeys) diverged around 23-25 Mya. Importantly, although this range of dates has been used as both an initial assumption and as a confirmation of results in many molecular-clock analyses, it h...
