Origin of the metazoan phyla: Molecular clocks confirm paleontological estimates
Open accessAbstract
The time of origin of the animal phyla is controversial. Abundant fossils from the major animal phyla are found in the Cambrian, starting 544 million years ago. Many paleontologists hold that these phyla originated in the late Neoproterozoic, during the 160 million years preceding the Cambrian fossil explosion. We have analyzed 18 protein-coding gene loci and estimated that protostomes (arthropods, annelids, and mollusks) diverged from deuterostomes (echinoderms and chordates) about 670 million years ago, and chordates from echinoderms about 600 million years ago. Both estimates are consistent with paleontological estimates. A published analysis of seven gene loci that concludes that the corresponding divergence times are 1,200 and 1,000 million years ago is shown to be flawed because it extrapolates from slow-evolving vertebrate rates to faster-evolving invertebrate rates, as well as in other ways.

“Depending on the proteins, calibration points and rate substitution models used, these estimates range from 600 to 1200 Mya (Wray et al., 1996;Ayala et al., 1998;Bromham et al., 1998;Gu, 1998;Cutler, 2000).”

“Our data suggest that, inconsistent with most molecular clock estimates but consistent with paleontological predictions (e.g., refs. 13 and 14), bilaterians do not have a significant precambrian evolutionary history.”
From Estimating metazoan divergence times with a molecular clock (2004) · cites this paper as [13]
In the citing paper
“The combination of a rate constancy test with high resolution of long DNA sequences (two data sets totaling over 7,000 bp), use of a wide range of taxa and fossil dates (rather than reliance on a single calibration rate), and a maximum likelihood analysis makes this method more reliable than previous molecular dating techniques (11).”
From Testing the Cambrian explosion hypothesis by using a molecular dating technique (1998) · cites this paper as [23]
In the citing paper
“Molecular phylogenies based on sequence comparisons of protein domains shared by all bilaterians suggest that the time of divergence of these proteins may extend back to 600–1,200 million years (megaannuum; Ma) ago (11–16).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
