Abstract
Abstract This study is concerned with comparing the DNA sequences of different mammals, mainly primates, by utilizing nucleic acid hybridization. Nucleotide sequence differences between different species have been quantitated. Rates of nucleotide sequence change have been calculated. These data suggest that nucleotide sequence change has been decreasing with the development of the primate line. They also indicate that the rate of nucleotide sequence change in Primates is 10 – 20 × lower than that for rodents during recent evolutionary times. When corrected for generation time the rodent and primate rates are essentially equal.
