I used the Myrmecos blog method: I’ve searched for haptophyta and alveolata in timetree of life (http://www.timetree.org/index.php) and divided it by the time of divergence of genus Homo vs Pan.

I believe that hitting a girl is wrong, so I’m going to have to insist that you do it yourself for that comment.

My brain hurts. Poor Ehux is NOT deadly, last I checked! >.<

Crabe, how did you calculate the divergence time? Just curious, because the phylogenetic placement of these buggers is still not entirely clear…

(btw, the epitome of eukaryotic taxon fail is the tradition of using pictures of Chaos or Amoeba proteus in fear mongering articles about Naegleria fowlerii…)
