Podcast 51 - Clock-like Clocks Part 2
from Palaeo After Dark
The gang returns to the subject of molecular clocks by discussing several papers that compare the results of molecular clock studies to the fossil evidence. Meanwhile, James tells stories of internet “fame”, Curt loses his composure, and Amanda will be right back. References: Jarvis, Erich D., et al.
