Today there are $2^n$ species on the planet Kerbin, all of which are exactly n steps from an original species. In an evolutionary step, One species split into exactly two new species and died out in the process. There were already $2^n-1$ species in the past, which are no longer present today can be found, but are only documented by fossils. The famous space pioneer Jebediah Kerman once suggested reducing the biodiversity of a planet by doing this to measure how closely two species are on average related, with also already extinct species should be taken into account. The degree of relationship is measured two types, of course, by how many evolutionary steps before or back you have to do at least one to get from one to the other. What is the biodiversity of the planet Kerbin?
