Can you not see that it, like the earlier paper you sourced, has “T1” (time one) as the branching of chimp and human, and has “T2” (time two) as a greater amount of time showing the branching off of the gorilla group.

You want to find one that branches off humans BEFORE the branching off of chimps and gorillas. One EXACTLY like the one shown, but with “human” and “gorilla” interposed.

Are you smart enough to understand that or should I explain it to you again?

In scenario A, two genetic lineage possibilities are traced. One show humans and chimps diverging from an interspecie that diverged from the common ancestor with apes. Whereas the other shows humans diverging with the common ancestor of chimps and gorillas further up the tree. That means that the Evos are coming to the conclusion that there is more than way to read the data, and that more than one way includes chimps and gorillas diverging from each other, and humans diverging from the ancestor of all three further up the tree. I find it hard to believe you can't pick this up simply by looking at the species tree (and the genetic trees contained within it). But then again, this wouldn't be the first time you have surprised me in this way. d:op
