Since Woodmorappe cited a study on Mauritius macaque (Macaca fascicularis) mitochondrial DNA and claimed it showed that diversity within that group was comparable to other populations, I thought I'd point out that 1) Woodmorappe was wrong even in that cited study and 2) here's some more recent data, with a quote:
Smith, D.G., McDonough, J.W., George, D.A. (2006) Mitochondrial DNA variation within and among regional populations of longtail macaques (Macaca fascicularis) in relation to other species of the fascicularis group of macaques. Am. Journal of Primatology. 2006 Dec. 19
| Quote | | mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was sequenced to characterize genetic variation within and among 1,053 samples comprising five regional populations each of longtail macaques (Macaca fascicularis) and rhesus macaques and one sample each of Japanese and Taiwanese macaques... macaques from Malaysia and Indonesia were far more genetically diverse, and those from Mauritius were far less diverse than any other population studied. |
Why does it seem that each time Dave pastes Woodmorappe and other creationists like Humphreys...they always seem to BS on claims about cited works?
