âItâs often difficult to do find common ancestors between species using fossils, no matter what the organism,â said Hedges. Though the molecular clock is still regarded as somewhat controversial, said Hedges, it is gaining acceptance as our understanding of genome sequences improves.Itâs often difficult to do find common ancestors between species using fossils, no matter what the organism,â said Hedges.
