Difference between Population bottleneck and The Ancestor's Tale

Population bottleneck vs. The Ancestor's Tale

A population bottleneck or genetic bottleneck is a sharp reduction in the size of a population due to environmental events (such as earthquakes, floods, fires, disease, or droughts) or human activities (such as genocide). The Ancestor's Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Life is a 2004 popular science book by Richard Dawkins, with contributions from Dawkins' research assistant Yan Wong.

Similarities between Population bottleneck and The Ancestor's Tale

Population bottleneck and The Ancestor's Tale have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allele, Chimpanzee, Coalescent theory, Extinction, Fitness (biology), Founder effect, Galápagos Islands, Genetic drift, Genome, Gorilla, Mutation, Natural selection, Orangutan, River Out of Eden, Sexual reproduction, Speciation.

Allele

An allele is a variant form of a given gene.

Chimpanzee

The taxonomical genus Pan (often referred to as chimpanzees or chimps) consists of two extant species: the common chimpanzee and the bonobo.

Coalescent theory

Coalescent theory is a model of how gene variants sampled from a population may have originated from a common ancestor.

Extinction

In biology, extinction is the termination of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), normally a species.

Fitness (biology)

Fitness (often denoted w or ω in population genetics models) is the quantitative representation of natural and sexual selection within evolutionary biology.

Founder effect

In population genetics, the founder effect is the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population.

Galápagos Islands

The Galápagos Islands (official name: Archipiélago de Colón, other Spanish name: Las Islas Galápagos), part of the Republic of Ecuador, are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed on either side of the equator in the Pacific Ocean surrounding the centre of the Western Hemisphere, west of continental Ecuador.

Genetic drift

Genetic drift (also known as allelic drift or the Sewall Wright effect) is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling of organisms.

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism.

Mutation

In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

Natural selection

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype.

Orangutan

The orangutans (also spelled orang-utan, orangutang, or orang-utang) are three extant species of great apes native to Indonesia and Malaysia.

River Out of Eden

River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life is a 1995 popular science book by Richard Dawkins.

Sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction is a form of reproduction where two morphologically distinct types of specialized reproductive cells called gametes fuse together, involving a female's large ovum (or egg) and a male's smaller sperm.

Speciation

Speciation is the evolutionary process by which populations evolve to become distinct species.

Population bottleneck and The Ancestor's Tale Comparison

Population bottleneck has 79 relations, while The Ancestor's Tale has 462. As they have in common 16, the Jaccard index is 2.96% = 16 / (79 + 462).
