Refimprove date July 2010 In genealogy , a top ancestor is the oldest ancestor in a continuous sequence of ancestors. This means, that a continuous line of parent child connections exists between the top ancestor and the subject of the genealogical study, such as a living person. However, the top ancestor s parents are not or not yet known. Top ancestors are sometimes used to describe the status of a genealogical research project, or in order to compare the availability of genealogical data in different times and places. Often, top ancestors are implied to be patrilineality patrilineal . If a patrilineal dynasty is considered, each such dynasty has exactly one top ancestor. Examples of patrilineal top ancestors class wikitable subject dynasty top ancestor date of top ancestor s death Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom House of Wettin Wettin Dietrich I of Wettin 10th century Charlemagne Carolingian dynasty Carolingian Bishop Arnulf of Metz 640 Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom House of Este Este Otbert I, Count Palatine of Italy 975 Queen Margrethe II of Denmark House of Oldenburg Oldenburg Christian III, Count of Oldenburg References de Category Genealogy de Stammvater ... more details

Let T be a rooted tree with n Node computer science nodes . The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has both v and w as descendants where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself . The LCA of v and w in T is the shared ancestor of v and w that is located farthest from the root. Computation of lowest common ancestors may be useful, for instance, as part of a procedure for determining the distance between pairs of nodes in a tree the distance from v to w can be computed as the distance from the root to v , plus the distance from the root to w , minus twice the distance from the root to their lowest common ancestor. In a tree data structure where each node points to its parent, the lowest common ancestor can be easily determined by finding the first intersection of the paths from v and w to the root.

Let T be a rooted tree and let v be a node of T , the level ancestor query LA v , d requests the depth d ancestor of node v . The depth of a node v in a tree is the number of edges on the shortest path from the root of the tree to node v . Level ancestor query File LevelAncestor.png thumb Level ancestor of v ,2 and the path from root r to the node v . One of the fundamental algorithmic problems on trees is to find level ancestors of nodes. The simplest way to find a level ancestor of a node is to climb up the tree towards the root of the tree. On the path to the root of the tree, every ancestor of a node can be visited and therefore reported. In this case, the tree does not need to be preprocessed and the time to answer a query is O n . This approach is not feasible in situations where a large number of a queries are required to be processed. Alternatively, all the possible solutions can be precomputed and stored in a table. In this case, the queries can be answered in O 1 but the space and the preprocessing time is O n sup 2 sup .

This canoe had been given to Turi by Toto mythology Toto , father of Turi s wife Rongorongo wife of Turi Rongorongo . In some traditions, Turi and his party stopped at Rangit hua, believed by some to be Raoul of the Kermadec Islands , where they encountered some of the crew from the Kurahaup canoe. Continuing on, Turi and his followers eventually arrived and settled at Aotea Harbour on the west coast of the North Island .

The chimpanzee human last common ancestor CHLCA , CLCA, or C H LCA is the last species, a species of African apes, that human s, bonobo s and chimpanzee s share as a common ancestor . The CHLCA is generally used as an anchor point for calculating single nucleotide polymorphism SNP rates in human genetic studies where chimpanzees are used as an outgroup. The CHLCA is frequently cited as an anchor for molecular TMRCA Time to most recent common ancestor determination because the two species of the genus Pan genus Pan , the Bonobos and the Chimpanzee, are the species most genetically similar to Homo sapiens . Time estimates The age of the CHLCA is an estimate. The fossil find of Ardipithecus kadabba , Sahelanthropus tchadensis , and Orrorin tugenensis are closest in age and expected morphology of the CHLCA and suggest the LCA is older than 7 million years. The earliest studies of apes suggest the CHLCA may have been as old as 25 million years however, protein studies in the 1970s suggested the CHLCA was less than 8 million years in age.

It explores the story behind the discovery of an early primate fossil , Darwinius masillae , nicknamed Darwinius Ida , in a shale quarry in Germany . The fossil is believed to be around 47 million years old, and is extraordinarily well preserved. Originally unearthed in 1983, Ida lay in the hands of a private collector for 20 years before it was shown to a Norwegian paleontologist , J rn Hurum Dr J rn Hurum . Realising that Ida could turn out to be a significant transitional form missing link between modern primates, lemur s and lower mammal s, he persuaded the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo Natural History Museum in Oslo to purchase the fossil and assembled an international team of experts to study it.
