[QUOTE="Loudmouth, post: 68371124, member: 11790"] That's correct. The baseline in this case is the common ancestor. Let's say we have this situation for all of the apes (including humans) [FONT=Courier New]ATATTC[COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 128)]T[/COLOR]CATGCTTT Homo ATATTCGCATGCTTT Pan ATATTCGCATG[COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 128)]A[/COLOR]TTT Gorilla [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]ATAT[COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 128)]G[/COLOR]CGCATGCTTT Pongo[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][FONT=Verdana]That red T in the human sequence would be the lineage specific mutation because the consensus sequence has a G in that position. The consensus sequence[/FONT] represents the common ancestor. The red A in the gorilla sequence is a gorilla specific mutation. The red G in the orangutan sequence is an orangutan specific mutation. See how that works? It is not as if one lineage branches off and stops evolving.[/FONT] We usually already know which individuals belong to which species. That would be three separate blades of grass, not a tree. [/QUOTE]
