AI Thread Summary
To determine how long it would take for the human genome to diverge by 1% given a mutation rate of 5000 mutations per day, the discussion highlights the need to consider the total number of mutations required and the generational time of humans. With 3 billion base pairs in the human genome, 1% corresponds to 30 million mutations. The calculation involves dividing the total mutations needed by the daily mutation rate, then factoring in the average generation time for humans, which is typically around 20-30 years. The confusion arises from miscalculating the time frame, as a direct division of mutations by the daily rate does not account for generational turnover. The consensus suggests that the divergence would actually take millions of years, aligning with evolutionary timelines, rather than the 16 years initially calculated.

I am having trouble figuring out this question:

Assuming a non-overlapping mutation rate of 5000 mut/day. How long in years would it take for the human genome to diverge 1% (the genetic difference between humans and chimpanzees) from its current state?

If there are 3 x 10^9 pair in the human genome and 1% of this is 3 x 10^7 how do I figure out the amount of time to reach the 1%? I am stuck! I keep getting 16 years, I know that the number should be closer to 10 million years. Any starter tips or clues?

You have to put in generation time :) how many times can a human reproduce in 16 years? And how did you get 5000 mut/day?

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
