Curious if you could explain molecular clock analysis like I’m five? Your argument here sounds plausible but I’d still be interested to get a better handle on that.
I’m definitely not the best person to explain this, since I’m more on the epidemiology side. I understand the molecular clock analyses a bit, and they involve mutation rates plus tracking mutations in different variants, and figuring out how long it should take for the various samples collected at different times to have diverged, and what their common ancestors are.
Thanks!
