Bandelt, H.-J. 2008. Time dependency of molecular rate estimates: Tempest in a teacup.
Heredity 100:1-2. [In the fi eld of human evolution, Ho et al. 2005 has suggested an expo-
nential decay law at odds with the assumed linear relationship between genetic differences
and time, contrary to Bandelt, who notes “the enormous efforts that are undertaken to
treat the data with fashionable software.”]
