  2. Identical ancestors point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identical_ancestors_point

    The identical ancestors point for Homo sapiens has been the subject of debate. In 2003 Rohde estimated it to be between 5000 and 15,000 years ago. [2] In 2004, Rohde, Olson and Chang showed through simulations that, given the false assumption of random mate choice without geographic barriers, the Identical Ancestors Point for all humans would be surprisingly recent, on the order of 5,000 ...

  3. Most recent common ancestor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_recent_common_ancestor

    The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) is the most recent common ancestor of all current life on Earth, estimated to have lived some 3.5 to 3.8 billion years ago (in the Paleoarchean). [2] [3] [note 1]

  4. Mitochondrial Eve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve

    The identical ancestors point. In other words, "each present-day human has exactly the same set of genealogical ancestors" alive at the "identical ancestors point" in time. This is far more recent than when Mitochondrial Eve was proposed to have lived. [53] Mitochondrial Eve, the most recent female-line common ancestor of all living people.

    identical ancestors point identical by descent (IBD) (of a gene or allele) Traceable back through an arbitrary number of generations without mutation to a common ancestor of the group of descendant organisms that carries the gene or allele. [ 1 ]

  6. Sequence homology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_homology

    The term "percent homology" is often used to mean "sequence similarity”, that is the percentage of identical residues (percent identity), or the percentage of residues conserved with similar physicochemical properties (percent similarity), e.g. leucine and isoleucine, is usually used to "quantify the homology."

  7. Common descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_descent

    The most recent common ancestor of all currently living organisms is the last universal ancestor, [3] which lived about 3.9 billion years ago. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The two earliest pieces of evidence for life on Earth are graphite found to be biogenic in 3.7 billion-year-old metasedimentary rocks discovered in western Greenland [ 7 ] and microbial mat ...

    Choose a point uniformly at random from . Compute the distances from p {\displaystyle p} to all the other points of S {\displaystyle S} and let d {\displaystyle d} be the minimum such distance. Round the input points to a square grid of size d / ( 2 k ) {\displaystyle d/(2{\sqrt {k}})} , and delete from S {\displaystyle S} all points whose ...
