Can you point out to me where Max makes this statement? Thanks.

The quote at the top is Plaisted's summary and refutation of the article where Max made it look like man and monkey shared the same exact mutation in the gene which makes vitamin c. Other animals besides man and monkey from which neither is a direct descendant have such a mutation, specifically the guinea pig, but of course no one says that man is a direct descendant of the guinea pig. So the question at hand is the exact specificity of the mutation. In his response to Plaisted's statement above Max finally admitted that he had no evidence because the gene had not been examined:

the data on this question are not yet available for the LGGLO pseudogenes,
