Where this comes from

Abstract

Denk <i>et al</i> agree that we reported the first fossil Fagaceae from the Southern Hemisphere. We appreciate their general enthusiasm for our findings, but we reject their critiques, which we find misleading and biased. The new fossils unequivocally belong to <i>Castanopsis</i>, and substantial evidence supports our Southern Route to Asia hypothesis.
