Australopithecus and orangutans

[B.J.Tindall]

While I was in the library today I came across the following articles,
which may be of interest:

Genomic clocks and evolutionary time scales: Trends in Genetics 19 (4)
200-206, 2003

Majority of divergence between closely related DNA samples is due to
indels. PNAS 100 (8) 4661-4665, 2003

Both, of which touch on this thread.
