}The involucrin genes of the prosimian primates and of the anthropoid primates possess nonhomologous segments of repeats located at two different sites, P and M, within the coding region. The involucrin gene of the tarsioids alone contains repeats at both sites, for it derived repeats at site P from a common ancestor of tarsioids and prosimians and a repeat at site M from a later common ancestor of tarsioids and anthropoids. After their divergence from the tarsioids, the anthropoids added many…

Alu repeats in tarsier genome are relatively old, which indicates a dramatic slowdown or even an arrest of these elements' amplification about 20 Myr ago, consistent with the view that tarsiers form a sister clade with anthropoides rather than with other prosimians.

The involucrin gene of platyrrhines and hominoids contains a segment of 10-codon repeats which were added vectorially at the same site in the coding region, and it is shown that these repeats were added before a lineage diverges become synapomorphies in the sister taxa resulting from the divergence.
