Figure 4.
Smoothed marginal posterior distributions estimated by MIMAR from the gorilla (A) and orangutan (B) subspecies polymorphism data (for details, see Methods and legend of Fig. 2). (A) Distributions for the analysis of Western and Eastern gorillas. The apparent multimodality of the marginal posterior distribution estimated for the split time was also noted by Thalmann et al. (2006). (B) Distributions for the analysis of Sumatran and Bornean orangutans. Note that the posterior distribution for the split time is rather flat, suggesting that the data do not carry much information about this parameter.
