Sequence divergence of repeat elements in the human genome. As approximate age, the sequence divergence shows a burst of Alu activity ∼40 Mya and a marked decrease afterward. The distribution of (active) LINE elements is somewhat more even. The relative number of SDs decreases in a fashion similar to the Alu elements.
