Zoe, Dover, and Pandas

Zoe,

In the thread titled 'A "Dover" sidetrack', it seemed to me that
you understood the concept of the "molecular clock", and
understood how it related to species on an evolutioanry tree.
I'm not totally sure of this, though, as it seemed like you
abandoned this thread when you were on the verge of
understanding it.

Once you have a good grasp of the concept, it's quite clear
that Kenneth Miller's criticism was quite valid: the authors
of "Pandas" presented information that showed they lacked
an understanding of quite fundamental evolutionary concepts.

I'm wondering what you think about that Zoe?
