EVOLUTION, ANTHROPOLOGY. For the article “Genera of the human lineage,” by Camilo J. Cela-Conde and Francisco J. Ayala, which appeared in issue 13, June 24, 2003, of Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (100, 7684–7689; First Published June 6, 2003; 10.1073/pnas.0832372100), the authors note that, due to a printer's error, the references in the heading of Table 1 on page 7688 should be 16 and 17 rather than 32 and 33. The reference in the footnote should be 17 rather than 32. The corrected table appears below.
