Question about evolution, genetic bottlenecks, and inbreeding

Could you write more clearly what you mean here. It just doesn't make sense to me. I mean if I just interpret exactly what you said then it doesn't make sense in light of some of what you've already stated before in this thread. Specifically this part: Do you see what I mean? You have harped a few times about a correct understanding of the phrase "most recent common ancestor" and then you make a statement like that. How am I supposed to figure out what it is you're saying there?Edited by CosmicChimp, : wording

It looks to me like you're saying that not every individual has the same MRCA. But you've not made it clear in your post three back #112.Edited by CosmicChimp, : No reason given.

He knows that already. The idea that defining the group will point to the MRCA, has also already been pointed out in the thread at least a few times. Defining the group is prerequisite. But your posts are always good, so don't feel criticized.
