The greater the Fst value, the greater the genetic distance.

Hunt et al. (2010) have quantified genetic distance within these taxa.

It is usually used to determine the genetic distance between two species.

There are generally shorter genetic distances between populations using languages from the same linguistic family.

Agreement also exists between research dates in archeology and those calculated using genetic distance.

Within a species genetic distance can be used to measure the divergence between different sub-species.

There are several measures used to indicate genetic distance.

A commonly used measure of genetic distance is the fixation index which varies between 0 and 1.

The genetic distance between the two types is so large that a divergence time of about 1.7 million years has been suggested.

Analysis of fossil evidence and genetic distance are two of the means by which scientists understand this evolutionary history.
