The authors consider a haploid population model, in a scaling limit, in the steady state. They consider the ``Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA)'' of the present-day population, and study the times when it lived, and the times when it became the MRCA (that is, the time when of the two most ancient families died out). Both these times turn out to have a Poissonian distribution.
