Beyond Reasonable Doubt: Evolution from DNA Sequences
We demonstrate quantitatively that, as predicted by evolutionary theory, sequences of homologous proteins from different species converge as we go further and further back in time. The converse, a non-evolutionary model can be expressed as probabilities, and the test works for chloroplast, nuclear and mitochondrial sequences, as well as for sequences that diverged at different time depths. Even...

Differences in the way beyond reasonable doubt is applied in different courts suggest the need for shared understanding of the concept. This paper explores the technique of mathematical modeling to illuminate this concept/abstraction in order to have a shared understan...
