Telford, Philip d Diversification into animal phyla occurred in the Ediacaran, C.J. Donoghue, Ziheng Yang before the Cambrian Correspondence d Uncertainties in the fossil record and the molecular clock phil.donoghue@bristol.ac.uk (P.C.J.D.), affect time estimates z.yang@ucl.ac.uk (Z.Y.) d A precise timeline of animal evolution cannot be obtained In Brief with current methods dos Reis et al. study the uncertainty in Bayesian estimates of the time of origin of animals using phylogenomic data. They find that disentangling the timeline of early animal evolution is hard given the large uncertainty associated with the fossil record of early animals and the strong violation of the molecular clock in ancient phylogenies. dos Reis et al., 2015, Current Biology 25, 2939–2950 November 16, 2015 ª2015 The Authors http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2015.09.066 Current Biology Article Uncertainty in the Timing of Origin of Animals and the Limits of Precision in Molecular Timescales 1,2 1 1 1 3, Mario dos Reis, Yuttapong Thawornwattana, Konstantinos Angelis, Maximilian J.
