Abstract
The total and partial amino acid sequences of Tetrahymena histones H4 and H2B, respectively, have been determined. Comparisons of these sequences with those of mammals and pea suggest that the divergence of protozoa and higher eukaryotes is more ancient than the divergence of animals and plants.
