  1. I assume the first post is being updated and therefore has a complete compilation of nominated abbreviations. So can someone tell me what GAE means? Thanks.
  2. I noticed that YMMV is listed twice.

GAE = genetic Adam/Eve

YMMV #2 = you must mean Vinnie ?

Yep! I update it, like I did just now. I’m surprised it went this long without GAE being added!

:sweat_smile: We’ll have to add that one in too sometime!

GEA used here usually refers to the genealogical Adam and Eve, not genetic. That is, the model put forth by Swamidass in his book.
