Exponential Growth mechanism
In a doubling process, each generation enlarges the base for the next one, so totals escape linear intuition after surprisingly few steps.
-
Pedigree Collapse mechanism
Ancestor slots double every generation, but distinct ancestors cannot. Once the theoretical tree outgrows the population that existed, the same people must appear repeatedly across its branches.
-
Identical Ancestors Point mechanism
Genealogical ancestry expands until separate family trees collapse into a shared web: beyond the identical ancestors point, anyone from that era who left descendants is an ancestor of nearly everyone today. The timing depends on how freely populations mixed.
-
Genetic vs Genealogical Ancestry principle
A family tree records who your biological ancestors were; your genome records only the fragments that survived repeated, random inheritance. As generations pass, genuine ancestors can leave no DNA in a particular descendant.
-
Genetic Recombination mechanism
Recombination reshuffles inherited variants, breaking up genetic packages so selection can retain useful combinations without necessarily preserving harmful variants that once accompanied them.
