  14. HUMAN PHYLOGENY • Phylogeny:maps of the evolutionary relationships between species/lineages. Phylogenies help us to understand species extinctions, ancestral and modern species origins, and the points at which lineages split, also known as speciation. • Phylogenetics:field of biology that examines the relationships between organisms, and the causes of the evolutionary patterns that are present. • Lineage:a general term that refers to a continuous line of descent, or a series of organisms that is connected by reproduction from parent to offspring.

  18. Human Evolution and Mitochondrial DNA Energy-producing organelles Endosymbiosis? • Thousands of mitochondria in each cell, and each • one has its own small circle of DNA, separate from nuclear DNA • Why special/useful in relation to evolutionary relationships? • Unique inheritance pattern • Changes more rapidly than nuclear DNA, and high mutation • rate means there is plenty of genetic variation among people.
