2024-11-24 05:54:52 +0000 UTCHi Jason, I've got a question for Clint! I understand the phylogenies and monophyletic groups stemming from a last common ancestor. But it confuses me when he says "all of these are more closely related to each other than to anything in this sister clade." My intuition would say that I am more closely related to my cousin than my great great great great grandson or grand nephew, even though my cousin and I share a more distant common ancestor. Is this intuition wrong for species? It is because you can't apply the family genetic "math" of shared genes to species - where the whole group of animals contains the gene pool for the species instead of just parents passing half my genes to each child? And is part of it because he is usually talking about the animals living today in the phylogenies, and not the hidden/extinct ancestors that split from one another? Thank you!
