Yes and no.
Mutation rates are different in different organisms, and are also dependent on how long a generation is and whether the organism reproduces asexually or sexually.
There's no exact rate, but at least in humans, thanks to genetic markers, we can estimate that humans all descended from the San, in Africa about 150,000 years ago.

What effect does generation time have on evolution rate?
A long generation time makes for a slow evolution rate, and a short generation time makes for a fast evolution rate.
What is the rate of evolution?
Evolution doesn't have a constant rate because it depends on environmental factors and reproduction frequency.
What does low genetic diversity do?
Generally, a low rate of evolution.
When evolution occurs at a slow steady pace the rate is defined as what?
Gradualism
What are three theories about the rate of evolution?
I am aware of the following notions regarding the rate of evolution:Gradualism, that the rate of evolution is more or less uniformly gradual.Punctuated equilibria, that evolution is gradual, but punctuated by rapid fluctuations in rate of progression.Saltationism, that new species can emerge instantaneously, from one generation to the next.Saltationism has, to a certain extent, been disproved as a pattern for evolution, along with gradualism, although saltational events may on occasion still occur, for instance in cases of polyploidy, chromosomal fusion, or radical changes in HOX genes.
Is it false that scientist know that exact rate of evoltion?
yes
What effect does generation time have on evolution rate?
A long generation time makes for a slow evolution rate, and a short generation time makes for a fast evolution rate.
What is the rate of evolution?
Evolution doesn't have a constant rate because it depends on environmental factors and reproduction frequency.
When might it be important to know the flow rate of a gas?
You could have job that requires its flow rate to be measured precisely. For example, if you work as a scientist and you are doing an experiment, it's important that you know the flow rate of the gas.
What effect does generation time have on evolution?
A long generation time makes for a slow evolution rate, and a short generation time makes for a fast evolution rate.
What is faster the quicker the organisms reproduce?
The rate of evolution.
What is rates of evolution?
Evolution doesn't have a constant rate because it depends on environmental factors and reproduction frequency.
Why it is interpollation used in internal rate of return method?
Interpolation method is used to know the exact point or rate of return where NPV(net present value) of investments is zero.
What do scientists think about the rate of evolution?
That it is quite variable across species and environments, but can be somewhat calculated within a rather wide margin of error. Your rate of evolution is many times slower than the bacterial rate for instance.
A change in elevation over time is called?
rate Evolution
What does low genetic diversity do?
Generally, a low rate of evolution.
What is the definition for rapid evolution?
Rapid evolution is where the subjective species in a population is considered to be evolving in an unusually high frequency and rate, thus 'rapid' evolution is occuring.
