as being compatible with studies of individual DNA sequences. Thus, a similar
picture has emerged from maximum parsimony analysis of DNA sequences
derived from primate

Hasegawa et al ., 1987; Koop et al ., 1989; Maeda et al ., 1988; Miyamoto et al ., 1987,

genes (Gonzalez et al ., 1990), the -1,3-galactosyltransferase gene (Galili and
