Estimates were calculated by averaging the mean times across all runs for 10 independent datasets.
*Refers to the average divergence time of the crown node for the indicated taxonomic group when the 65.8 my maximum constraint was removed from the Primate node.
†Refers to the average divergence time of the crown node for the indicated taxonomic group when divergence times were estimated using the most concordant gene trees.
