Time to most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) was estimated for the M segment by using the data from 32 dated samples collected over 35 years and the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach (BEAST package; 10).
The results indicated that the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for the ingroup had an eastern North America (A) distribution (Fig.
For the class of haploid exchangeable population models with non-overlapping generations and population size N it is shown that, as N tends to infinity, convergence of the time-scaled ancestral process to Kingman's coalescent and convergence in distribution of the scaled times back to the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) to the corresponding times back to the MRCA of the Kingman coalescent are equivalent.
