Abstract
Generation theory was developed as a tool for studying self-reproducing systems. In this paper we show that this theory can be applied to a search for common ancestors of living organisms.
We give two algorithms with flowcharts in pseudocode for finding common ancestors of a set of microbes and describe the connections with the genography problem.
