	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

B is the sister of A implies A is the sister of B?[edit]

As per the section title, if B is the sister of A does it follow that A is the sister of B? Siuenti (talk) 14:18, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Siuenti, if B is the sister of A, it follows that A is sister of B, because both share a most recent common ancestor. Manudouz (talk) 11:52, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
