The above numbers are based exclusively on the comparison of their Y-DNA results, which show 2 mismatches.
However, these results can be refined if their paper trail indicates that no common ancestor between Wright #26651 and the other participants could have lived in a certain number of past generations.
Since each marker has a different mutation rate, identical Genetic Distances will not necessarily yield the same probabilities. In other words, even though Wright #26651 has a Genetic Distance of 2 from both Wright #20791 and Wright #20201, however, the same Genetic Distance has different probabilities because the distance of 2 was prompted by mutations in different markers, with different mutation rates.
