The NAS's Human Evolution Error



            that interpretations based on molecular studies give results that are

            totally at odds with studies of anatomical similarities. An article by
            Henry Gee, which took this paper as a reference point and was pub-

            lished in Nature, says:
                 Given that bones and teeth are, for practical purposes, all there is to
                 go on, uncertainty is likely to reign for some time, leaving the nature
                 of the latest common ancestor—and the general course of early ho-

                 minid evolution—as mysterious as ever.  15
                 In that same article, it is admitted that "the evolutionary relation-
            ships remain murky."
