I am curious, what is the maximum genetic separation that has been
discovered between two men with a known (i.e., very good documentation)
common male-line ancestor?

In my project, I would have to say that I can only see one single-increment
change. The other differences are because the lines are not related, or
because the common ancestor is far enough back that it can't (yet) be
documented.

I have seen what I believe is a mutation, then a reversion mutation in one
line. Can anyone show a line with two changes? Three changes? etc.....

Cheers,

Gregg
