Question

Assume that chimpanzees and humans share a recent common ancestor that lived for 7 million years ago. if each inversion represents a single mutation event, calculate the average number of years between these mutation events. Would you describe this mutation rate as rapid or slow?

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_of_common_descent <- this might help. But I personally would say slow. But within the past few hundred thousands years evolution has changed a lot more.
