DNA nucleotide sequences have emerged as the most convincing source of information concerning evolutionary relationships among species, genera, and higher level taxonomic groups. Dr. Morris Goodman has been a leader in this field of molecular evolution, and he proposes continued analysis of gene sequences among primates and other mammalian groups. This research will help to clarify relationships within the primates, and between primates and their closest non-primate relatives. Dr. Goodman will also investigate the possible correlation between the rate at which a lineage evolves, the mutation rate in that lineage, and the life span of organisms in that lineage. The proposed research will attract broad attention from vertebrate zoologists, anthropologists, and molecular geneticists. A more robust genealogy of mammals will encourage a wide range of research projects in ecology, behavior, and biogeography, to name a few relevant fields.

DNA核苷酸序列已经成为最令人信服的 关于进化关系的信息来源 种、属和更高级别的分类群。 莫里斯医生 古德曼一直是分子进化领域的领导者， 他建议继续分析 灵长类和其他哺乳动物群体。 这项研究将有助于 阐明灵长类动物内部以及灵长类动物之间的关系 以及它们最亲近的非灵长类亲属 古德曼博士也将 调查可能的相关性之间的速度， 血统的进化，该血统的突变率， 这一谱系中生物体跨度。 这项研究将引起广泛关注， 脊椎动物学家、人类学家和分子生物学家 遗传学家 一个更健全的哺乳动物谱系将鼓励 广泛的研究项目在生态学，行为， 地理学，仅举几个相关领域的例子。
