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.

I think you're asking for too reductive a quantity. Rate of evolution is property of a population in an environment, not of particular individuals. To measure it well, it's better to measure directly rather than trying to estimate reproductive age/brood size & then work out rate.

That makes sense. My initial curiosity was mostly because I was thinking about generational time in politics alone. Then just started wondering about the effects of (learned) adaptation in general. Then started expanding from there ;)
