P.2595 left column 3rd paragraph: "Using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) taken from human pedigrees, several investigators have estimated divergence rates that are many times greater than the accepted rate estimates for animal species (Ho et al. 2005). In contrast to the accepted rate of 0.02 substitutions/site/Myr for protein-coding mtDNA in mammals (primary sources Brown et al. 1979, Randi 1996, Fleischer et al. 1998) and birds (primary source Shields and Wilson 1987), these studies found rates between 0.32 and 2.5 substitutions/site/Myr (BNID 113218). In addition, in a study using well-preserved Antarctic subfossil bones, Lambert et al. (BNID 113219) estimated a divergence rate of 0.95 substitutions/site/Myr in Adélie penguins." |
