The genetic mutations in the genome appear at constant rates across a wide diversity of taxa. It led to the development of: molecular clocks.
Molecular clocks are a technique that uses the mutation rate to measure the number of random mutations of the organism's gene at a relatively constant rate over a specific timeframe. This technique is very useful for calibrating fossil records and geological timescales. For example, an alpha-globin has a constant rate change of .56 changes per base pair per billion years. With this rate, alpha-globin could be used as a molecular clock.
