O 'Leary等人(O' Leary等人2013 Science 339,662-667. (doi:10.1126/science.1229237))对哺乳动物进行了仅化石的年代测定分析,得出的结论是胎盘动物的祖先晚于白垩纪-古近纪的界线,这与之前将祖先置于白垩纪的古生物学和分子研究相矛盾。他们错误地使用化石年龄作为树冠群的物种分化时间,而事实上前者只应该形成后者的最小年龄界限。对化石记录的统计分析表明,冠群的年龄明显大于最古老的内群化石,因此化石不能直接反映分支的真实年龄。在这里,我们分析了2000万核苷酸基因组规模的对齐结合概率解释的化石年龄从O 'Leary等人。我们的化石和分子的综合分析表明,胎盘起源于白垩纪。
O'Leary et al. (O'Leary et al. 2013 Science 339, 662–667. (doi:10.1126/science.1229237)) performed a fossil-only dating analysis of mammals, concluding that the ancestor of placentals post-dated the Cretaceous–Palaeogene boundary, contradicting previous palaeontological and molecular studies that placed the ancestor in the Cretaceous. They incorrectly used fossil ages as species divergence times for crown groups, while in fact the former should merely form minimum-age bounds for the latter. Statistical analyses of the fossil record have shown that crown groups are significantly older than the oldest ingroup fossil, so that fossils do not directly reflect the true ages of clades. Here, we analyse a 20 million nucleotide genome-scale alignment in conjunction with a probabilistic interpretation of the fossil ages from O'Leary et al. Our combined analysis of fossils and molecules demonstrates that Placentalia originated in the Cretaceous.
