Molecular dating analyses allow evolutionary timescales to be estimated from genetic data, offering an unprecedented capacity for investigating the evolutionary past of all species. These methods require us to make assumptions about the relationship between genetic change and evolutionary time, often referred to as a 'molecular clock'.
Carbon dating is a dating technique predicated upon three things: 1  The rate at which the unstable radioactive C-14 isotope decays into the stable non-radioactive N-14 isotope, 2  The ratio of C-12 to C-14 found in a given specimen,  And the ratio C-12 to C-14 found in the atmosphere at the time of the specimen's death.
