Parallel evolution

Isn't that the wrong term? See [1]. --tk 13:12, 5 July 2007 (BST)

Hmm. Right you are, it wasn't parellel if they were diverging. The parallel hypothesis died in the 1960s. I shall rephrase from "both apes and humans evolved in parallel from a common ancestor" to "both apes and humans evolved independently" from a common ancestor. Thanks for pointing that out.--Doddy 02:08, 10 July 2007 (BST)
