Answer 2

common ancestor

Step-by-step explanation:

A single specie from which other organisms have descended is called a common ancestor.

All descendants which are further generations can trace their origin from this ancestor.

• Most times, in a family tree, the common ancestor is usually placed on top.
• Several descendants can have just a single ancestor.
