Wasn’t Dysart the name of Richard Burton’s character in Equus? Just wondering.
“Among the team’s findings is that the genus Equus — which includes all horses, donkeys, and zebras — dates back more than 4 million years, twice as long ago as scientists had previously believed.”
So estimating from the present genome about the past genome was widely erroneous? Interesting in its implications.
That was news to me, but kudos for excellence in free association!
