So, What About the Molecular Clock Hypothesis?
Overview

Recent studies have provided strong evidence for significant variation in rates of nucleotide substitution among evolutionary lineages. They have also provided evidence for germ-cell division as a major source of mutation (i.e. the generation-time effect hypothesis). Moreover, they have suggested the importance of differences in metabolic rate as a cause of rate variation.
