From: Early Pleistocene origin and extensive intra-species diversity of the extinct cave lion
Phylogeny based on 7,929 bp of the mitochondrial genome. Priors used for the TMRCA split between lions and cave lions were from Barnett et al.11 (2.08 mya, standard deviation of 0.52 mya). Branch thickness corresponds to posterior support (values given in Figure S5), with any values less than 0.5 shown by a hash). The eleven oldest splits all have posterior support > 0.95. Tip numbers correspond to sample IDs in Table S1, the x-axis scale is in 14C years before present.
