Which of the following statements is true about the phylogenetic tree shown here?
A) The gibbon is more closely related to the rhesus monkey than to the chimpanzee.
B) The galago is more closely related to the green monkey than to the capuchin.
C) The green monkey and rhesus monkey share a common ancestor with the gibbon and chimpanzee.
D) The gibbon does not share a common ancestor with the chimpanzee or human.
E) The green monkey and rhesus monkey share a more recent common ancestor than do the chimpanzee and human. The only correct statement here is that the green monkey and rhesus monkey share a common ancestor with the gibbon and chimpanzee, about 30 MYA. The galago is no further removed from the capuchin than it is from the green monkey ancestor about 40 MYA) . The gibbon shares a more recent common ancestor with the chimpanzee about 25 MYA) than it does with the rhesus monkey about 30 MYA) . The green monkey and rhesus monkey share a common ancestor about 20 MYA, while the chimpanzee and human share a common ancestor only about 5 MYA.
