Trying to understand your question: Are you asking for an estimate of average reproductive age of an ancient ancestors of a given species? And you want to look at long-term trends like how average reproductive age changed in some lineage?
-
I think so? Like, in my head I want to see a bar where the vertical color indicates [average reproductive age] the horizontal is time. Segmented into species, somehow?

What is a generation?

Not my field, so I guess I should have been specific with what I meant, since it's probably the wrong term. I guess average age of parent at time of child's birth? Something to estimate the possible speed of evolution?

it is possible. I don't remember too much, but we talked abt it briefly at high school (in brazil you study basically EVERYTHING in hs), I think my friend
@watchlar can help you with that -
yes, I believe that's possible. Though environmental pressures such as drought or predators may anticipate the reproductive age of a species. But anyway, I believe you can estimate the average time per generation by arithmetic mean.

Not sure if this answers your question but this site will tell you how many generations ago your line of ancestry diverged from many other species, and how that makes you it's xth cousin y times removed. https://www.evogeneao.com/learn/evolutionary-geneology …

I did an EXTREMELY cursory check of the website so I can make no warranties as to its reliability.
