Estimation and testing procedures are presented for making phylogenetic inference from restriction endonuclease cleavage site data. The estimation procedure utilizes a compatibility analysis between enzyme data sets of the most parsimonious trees constructed from the restriction site patterns for a specific restriction enzyme. Next, a non-parametric test is given for comparing alternative phylogenies. This test utilizes a ranking procedure based upon the qualitative types of mutational events inferred to have occurred and the number of mutational events. Because of the test procedure, the algorithm can identify its areas of statistical strength and weakness. The areas of statistical strength occur under conditions where the estimation procedure tends to be statistically consistent and efficient and the assumption of parsimony not critical. A 2nd non-parametric test is developed for testing the molecular clock hypothesis. Data derived from the mitochondrial DNA and globin DNA of man and the apes are analyzed. Although previous analyses of these data led to the speculation that 10 times more information would be required to resolve the evolutionary relationships between man with chimpanzees and gorillas, this algorithm resolved these relationships at the 5% level of significance. The molecular clock hypothesis was rejected at the 1% level. These conclusions are extremely robust in statistical and evolutionary senses. The implications of this phylogenetic inference when coupled with other types of data lead to the conclusion that knuckle-walking, not bipedalism, is the evolutionary novelty in mode of locomotion in the primates and that many other hominid features are primitive; their African ape counterparts are derived.
