Summary
Molecular Clocks
are tools used to estimate the time of
Evolutionary Divergence
between species by analyzing
Genetic Mutations
that accumulate at a relatively
Constant Rate
. This method relies on the assumption that genetic changes occur at a
Steady pace
over time, allowing scientists to
Calibrate evolutionary timelines
using known
Fossil Records
or
Geological events
.
