Part A shows trees 1 and 2 which differ in branch lengths towards the base of the tree only. Tree 1 has divergence dates for major extant clades set by molecular evidence. We institute minimum ghost lineages to incorporate fossils. Tree 2 has divergence dates set by fossil evidence when available such that the creation of ghost lineages is minimized even more. Node numbers of interest are given for reference with Table 8, and Figure 10. Part B represents tree 3 in which Eocene omomyiforms and adapids are treated as stem haplorhines [102], [108] which we consider the most substantially different, yet potentially correct alternative hypothesis for euprimate relationships.
