[[ The above is why communication with you is so difficult; the above is
pure nonsense. Most snps happen in son's who have no brothers with
surviving lines. A bifurcation after most snps happens some generations
later on a branch line of descent when the demographics (births and deaths
and reproductions) so wills it --- not any preceding snps, discovered or
undiscovered yet. ]]
