Primate phylogeny: molecular evidence for a pongid clade excluding humans and a prosimian clade containing tarsiers
Interpretations of molecular data by the modern evolution theory are often sharply inconsistent with paleontological results. This is to be expected since the theory is only true for microevolutio…

Molecular evidence for the hadrosaur B. canadensis as an outgroup to a clade containing the dinosaur T. rex and birds
Molecular analysis of collagen sequences from an 80 million year old hadrosaur B. canadensis and a 68 million year old dinosaur T. rex suggest strongly that B. canadensis is an outgroup to a …

Inverse relationship between genetic diversity and epigenetic complexity
Early studies of molecular evolution revealed a correlation between genetic distance and time of species divergence. This observation provoked the molecular clock hypothesis and in turn the ‘Neutr…

The genetic equidistance result of molecular evolution is independent of mutation rates
The well-established genetic equidistance result shows that sister species are approximately equidistant to a simpler outgroup as measured by DNA or protein dissimilarity. The equidistance result …

Ancient fossil specimens of extinct species are genetically more distant to an outgroup than extant sister species are
There exists a remarkable correlation between genetic distance as measured by protein or DNA dissimilarity and time of species divergence as inferred from fossil records. This observation has prov…

Requirement of RIZ1 for cancer prevention by methyl-balanced diet
The typical Western diet is not balanced in methyl nutrients that regulate the level of the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and its derivative metabolite S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), which…
