Abstract

In recent years, multiple technological and methodological advances have increased our ability to estimate phylogenies, leading to more accurate dating of the primate tree of life. Here we provide an overview of the limitations and potentials of some of these advancements and discuss how dated phylogenies provide the crucial temporal scale required to understand primate evolution. First, we review new methods, such as the total-evidence dating approach, that promise a better integration between the fossil record and molecular data. We then explore how the ever-increasing availability of genomic-level data for more primate species can impact our ability to accurately estimate timetrees. Finally, we discuss more recent applications of mutation rates to date divergence times. We highlight example studies that have applied these approaches to estimate divergence dates within primates. Our goal is to provide a critical overview of these new developments and explore the promises and challenges of their application in evolutionary anthropology.

岩石和时钟修订:灵长类动物生命树年代的新承诺和挑战
近年来,多种技术和方法的进步提高了我们估计系统发生的能力,从而更准确地确定了灵长类动物的生命树。在这里,我们概述了这些进步的局限性和潜力,并讨论了过时的系统发育如何提供理解灵长类动物进化所需的关键时间尺度。首先,我们回顾了新的方法,如全证据测年法,它有望更好地整合化石记录和分子数据。然后,我们探讨了越来越多的灵长类物种基因组水平数据的可用性如何影响我们准确估计时间树的能力。最后,我们讨论了突变率在发散时间上的最新应用。我们强调了应用这些方法来估计灵长类动物分化日期的例子研究。我们的目标是对这些新发展提供一个批判性的概述,并探索它们在进化人类学中应用的希望和挑战。

期刊介绍: Evolutionary Anthropology is an authoritative review journal that focuses on issues of current interest in biological anthropology, paleoanthropology, archaeology, functional morphology, social biology, and bone biology — including dentition and osteology — as well as human biology, genetics, and ecology. In addition to lively, well-illustrated articles reviewing contemporary research efforts, this journal also publishes general news of relevant developments in the scientific, social, or political arenas. Reviews of noteworthy new books are also included, as are letters to the editor and listings of various conferences. The journal provides a valuable source of current information for classroom teaching and research activities in evolutionary anthropology.
