Old World Monkey Hemoglobins: Deciphering Phylogeny from Complex Patterns of Molecular Evolution

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Molecular Anthropology

Part of the book series: Advances in Primatology ((AIPR))

Abstract

Some of the pertinent questions being addressed by those carrying out research in molecular anthropology can be summarized as follows:

  1. 1.

    Are most of the DNA mutations that become fixed selectively neutral (or almost so)?

  2. 2.

    What effect do gene duplications have on the rate of mutation acceptance?

  3. 3.

    Can cladistic relationships of use to taxonomists be elucidated, despite any limitations arising from (1) and (2)?

  4. 4.

    If so, is the minority view that proteins can be used as “molecular clocks” tenable?

Professor Barnicot died May 14, 1975.
