A Coalescence tree for four individuals

 The matrix is the same as that used previously, but shows the ancestry of a sample of four individuals [red]. Times t4, t3, t2, and t1 are the coalescence times during which there are 4, 3, and 2 lineages, respectively.

The three X's show the coalescence and MRCA of two individuals, the Y's show the coalescence of three individuals, and the Z's show the coalescence of four individuals in
