The time scale of the bottleneck?

@aarceng

From memory I don’t think he did. That might have been an upper limit, but he still gave a range with an average of less than 90%.

@RichardBuggs

I would accept 95% as a prediction, but not as a statement of established fact.

In his final post in the thread I don’t see any mention of a lower bound. Or are you remembering this?

@RichardBuggs

In 2008 I wrote “I predict that when we have a reliable, complete chimpanzee genome, the overall similarity of the human genome will prove to be close to 70% (and very far from 99%).” This prediction is not borne out by the more recent data above.
