[Taxacom] New molecular propaganda on primate systematics

[Jim Croft]

Surely the answer has to be, get into the field *AND* the lab and
collect more data until you find the/an explanation for the apparent
conflict?

The definition of insanity, often misattributed to to Benjamin
Franklin, Mark Twain, Albert Einstein and others, is doing the same
thing over and over again, and expecting different results.

Whoever came up with the definition obviously had Taxacom in mind... ;)
