A recent study examining the mutation rates of 5669 mammalian genes (17,208 sequences) indicates that, contrary to popular belief, mutation rates among lineages with vastly different generation lengths and physiological attributes are remarkably constant (Kumar, S., and Subramanian, S. 2002. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. [USA] 99: 803-808). The average rate is estimated at 12.2 × 10 -9 per bp per year. What is the significance of this finding in terms of mammalian evolution?
