John Hawks has published an advanced notice on an article in Nature about work on when the human and chimpanzee/bonobo lineages went their separate ways—6.3 million years ago or less. Hawks is not much of a fan of the article, but the details are worth knowing about. You can find the full post here.
UPDATE: This is a link to an old post. See comments.
The Hawks post is from 2006, as is the Nature paper. Good post however.
