Key decisions
- Time scale: State the reference year and units.
- Clade labels: Highlight Hominini and great apes.
- Scope: Keep the tree to a small selected set of primates.
When to reuse this
Use this as an explanatory chronogram, with source-specific dates supplied for a research figure.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What makes this a chronogram?
Its branch lengths are presented on a time scale, rather than only showing the order of branching.
Why include macaque and baboon?
They provide a more distant comparison branch for the selected apes.
Are the dates a research result?
This is an illustrative example. A research tree should identify the data and method used for its dates.
