- does_definitively_have_no_common_ancestor(first: Union[HereditaryStratigraphicColumn, HereditaryStratigraphicSpecimen], second: Union[HereditaryStratigraphicColumn, HereditaryStratigraphicSpecimen]) bool
Does the hereditary stratigraphic record definitively prove that first and second could not possibly share a common ancestor?
If the founding strata of first and second (i.e., generation 0) have unequal differentia, then first and second cannot possibly share common ancestry.
Note equal differentia at generation 0 does not necessarily imply common ancestry; colliding differentia values could have been independently generated by chance.
Note also that stratum rention policies are strictly required to permanently retain the most ancient stratum.

Can we conclude with confidence_level confidence that first and second share a common ancestor?
