TAAR8 pseudogenization events for 17 Haplorhini species. The position numbers (in red) for the ORF disruptions such as stop codons and indel events are based on the human TAAR nucleotide sequence. All species belong to the Haplorhini. The TAAR8 gene was not identified in the white‐cheeked gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) genome (gray). It is likely that TAAR8 was pseudogenized in Simiiformes but subsequently resurrected in humans (magenta). The tree is obtained from recent primate phylogenetic studies47, 48, 84 and their approximate divergence times (MYA) are obtained from Perelman et al47
