"Twenty-five to 30 percent of mankind's mtDNA has been lost over the past million years when women gave birth to boys or didn't reproduce at all."

For this to be true, those women could not have had any female anywhere in their ancestry who had a sister who continued the female line.

This is ridiculous reasoning for the head of human origins at the Natural History Museum in London, a staunch advocate of the Out-of-Africa model had a completely different interpretation of the findings. He's just talking his book.

The whole 'out of Africa' theory is about to get a very serious challenge in the next few years. (It's already begun)

We found a whole new species of human in Siberia last year, we have the DNA.

"We found a whole new species of human in Siberia last year, we have the DNA."

'Species' is an extremely flexible term that can be essentially meaningless. All they really have is "a sequence which is similar in some ways to humans, but still quite distinct".

It is that leap from "a sequence which is similar in some ways to humans, but still quite distinct" to "a new species" that is the problem. Most people can't see that.

New Type of Ancient Human Found—Descendants Live Today?

Exactly my point.
