With genomic data, alignments can be assembled that greatly increase the number of informative sites for analysis of molecular divergence dates. Here, we present an estimate of the molecular divergence dates for all of the major primate groups. These date estimates are based on a Bayesian analysis of approximately 59.8 kbp of genomic data from 13 primates and 6 mammalian outgroups, using a rang...

Dates sometimes undergo a yeast fermentation even though they appear to be sufficiently low in moisture and high in sugar content to inhibit the development of most spoilage organisms. In the packing of dates the procedures followed, as outlined by Sievers and Barger (1930) do not involve the use of preservatives or of sufficient heat to prevent yeast growth. In fact, yeast spoilage has been ob...
