Moving the branches around

That the primate "tree" of evolution has branch ends at the top with humans, great apes, and other primates hanging on the end of each one is well-documented. So is the existence of a tree "trunk" many millions of years in the past.

But exactly where the branches meet the trunk (or each other) somewhere halfway up the tree, has been the subject of much lively debate among scientists for years now. Don't expect that to change much.
