How much would it take for a beneficial mutation to take over a population? This the point of the thread.

And the answeris that it depends on the strength of selection, population size, effects of drift. More, because multiple alleles can be proceeding to fixation at the same time any argument that relies on adding up the times is wrong.

Are you actually claiming that ReMine attempted to argue that only 1667 BASE PAIRS could be fixed between modern humans and their common ancestor with chimpanzees ? Because if he did , that's another reason why the paper isn't worth reading.
