1/ For a particular species, you can estimate the average time per generation, right? Is it possible to do it for a few hops up the tree of descent, too? I'd like to see visualizations of that.
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?

I see. Makes sense. I would assume there should be very good studies about that for most species.

Yea, my cursory search showed that there are some good estimates inferred from genetic changes for a particular species, I just don't know how far back you can go. Plus I just want to see the visualization — anything I'd make is sure to be ill-informed ;)
