Therefore, something in the independent ancestry hypothesis, something necessarily other than mere similarity, is responsible for the independent ancestry hypothesis beating the star tree.
Hence, this study lends further support to our differential ancestry hypothesis for pseudomonad tailocins.
A formal demonstration of the Universal Common Ancestry hypothesis has not been achieved and is unlikely to be feasible in principle.
A remarkable recent study claims to provide a formal, homology independent test of the Universal Common Ancestry hypothesis by comparing the ability of a common-ancestry model and a multiple-ancestry model to predict sequences of universally conserved proteins.
The independent ancestry hypothesis cannot account for any similarity between the two groups, whereas the star tree can, and yet the star tree, a common ancestry model, does much worse.
The reviewers for K&W's criticism similarly expect a null hypothesis in my analysis, ask whether I am using the Fisher or Neyman-Pearson methodology of null hypothesis testing, and claim that small P-values directly support a common ancestry hypothesis [ 2].

In describing structural similarity that is the result of common ancestry, hypotheses about homology require rigorous testing and form the basis for making predictions about anatomy and physiology as well as the fossil record.
Drosophila was the only eukaryote analysed which has Mcm8 but lacks Mcm9 suggesting, if the co-function and distinct co-ancestry hypothesis is correct, that REC may have assumed the function of both proteins or acquired a novel function that does not require Mcm9 specifically in Drosophila.
Crusader ancestry?
Universal common ancestry is the hypothesis that all extant terrestrial life shares a common genetic heritage.
Its putative ancestry includes various hypotheses: that is a wild relative of rice that has evolved crop mimicry, that it is descended directly from cultivated rice, or that it is an exoferal lineage descended from hybrids between a wild taxon and cultivated rice (Vaughan et al. 2005).
