"Of course, all molecular clock arguments assume the legitimacy of the
conventional geological time scale."
Question, does not the drawings and mummies of egyptian animals at least place
certain constraints on the molecular clock and thus, these constraints depend
upon the historical time scale rather than the geological time-scale. And are
the historically based contraints compatible with the geological time scale
calibrations of the molecular clock?
Does anyone know of molecular clock calibration based upon dead Egyptian cats
or some such thing?
