Comment
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
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.
Note that I won't myself return here; I'm a tumbleweed editor. — MaxEnt 20:32, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
Diagrams requested
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)
