Ciclids have the highest evolutionary diversification rate ev recorded, at 300 new species in 1 million years, and are comparing that to the great ape evolution into humans, chimps, and gorillas which took ~10 million. They are neglecting to mention that a part o that advanced evolution I due to increased reproduction rate.
If you are studying genetics and want to observe mutations and by extension evolution you do not use a long repoductive cycle. You use something that reproduces like weeds.
