Cheetahs are less genetically diverse than humans
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cheetah+genetic+bottleneck http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cheetah+genetic+bottleneck also due to a severe and recent (on an evolutionary scale) genetic bottleneck
- Confusion 15y agoAnd as with the cheetah, the recentness of the bottleneck may be entirely contingent.
- jongraehl 15y agoIt's hard for me to believe that bottleneck's recentness makes NO difference in the likelihood of the current observed amount of diversity (which is what "entirely contingent" means to me). I can buy "mostly", of course.
