Comment

[edit]

The lineage is not the set of mutations. It can be characterized by the set of mutations, but that is a completely different matter.

Borderline inscrutable

[edit]

Removed from article pending discussion.

This allows multiple deeply rooted lineages to be passed on for millions of years (See 2N-rule; 2 * 20 year/generations * 10,000 inds * ploidy), over two or more speciation events. Such lineages may randomly undergo fixation at any time.

Even in context, I was barely managing to guess the intent here.

Diagrams requested

[edit]

This article is almost unintelligible to a non-expert even with simplification. Diagrams explaining the concepts would help to illustrate what the examples mean. -Jmjosh90 17:48, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
