The data were extracted from the supplementary material. The following modifications were made:

renamed the admixed Eulemur sp. as Eulemur
dropped the second Peromyscus maniculatus data point (which was not used in primate - nonprimate comparisons in Pontzer et al.)
Eremitalpa namibensis is not a rodent, it's an Afrosoricid
