The origin and evolution of model organisms (2002, background): “, and older fossils (6–7 Mya) that might or might not be hominid”
Paleontological evidence to date the tree of life. (2006, background): “More recent ﬁnds, remarkably, have pushed the dates back to 6 Myr: A. ramidus kadabba from Ethiopia (5.8–5.2 MYA; Haile-Selassie 2001), Ororrin tugenenis from Kenya (c. 6 MYA; Senut et al. 2001), and Sahelanthropus tchadensis from Chad (6–7 MYA; Brunet et al. 2002).”
Bayes estimation of species divergence times and ancestral population sizes using DNA sequences from multiple loci. (2003, neutral): “Those estimates seem the data set of Chen and Li (2001) at 53 loci and then too young, as current opinion appears to favor a date including the data at the three other loci as well, in as old as 7 MY (Brunet et al. 2002).”
Dryopithecins, Darwin, de Bonis, and the European origin of the African apes and human clade (2009, background): “Th e sample shows its greatest similarities to gorillas, chimpanzees and Ouranopithecus, and is intermediate in age between Ouranopithecus and the earliest known African hominids (Brunet et al. 2002; Vignaud et al. 2002; Güleç et al. 2007; Lebatard et al. 2008).”
The human Y chromosome: an evolutionary marker comes of age (2003, background): “Further uncertainty surrounds the chimpanzee–human split (often set at 5 million years ago (mya), which conflicts with fossils that are claimed to be ancestral to humans but not chimpanzees that date from 6–7 my”
