A most recent common ancestor (MRCA), also known as a last common ancestor (LCA) or concestor (a term coined by Nicky Warren), is the most recent individual from which all organisms of a set are inferred to have descended. The most recent common ancestor of a higher taxon is generally assumed to have been a species. The term is also used in reference to…
The analysis highlights Community, MRCA of different species and Patrilineal and matrilineal MRCA as prominent areas in the source structure around Most recent common ancestor.
Source areas are shown by the number of related topics found in each part of the analysis. Use smaller areas too: they can reveal specialized angles and content gaps.
Smaller areas are not necessarily less important. They contain fewer connections in this analysis and can be useful for finding specialized angles or coverage gaps.
High-confidence facts extracted from structured source data. Use them as anchors for further research.
Browse the complete topic structure, not only the most central items. Less prominent entities and concepts can reveal missing angles, specialized context and useful research gaps. Each item opens a new analysis centered on that subject.
