Merger proposal

[edit]

I propose that top ancestor be merged into this article, progenitor. They cover the same topic, but "progenitor" is the more usual, formal and correct term; "top ancestor" would seem to be colloquial, less common and may just be a loose translation of the German article.

Agree. They mean the same thing, and I'm not sure anyone actually says "top ancestor". (And, incidentally, both articles link to the German article de:Stammvater.) GrindtXX (talk) 15:44, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
