The father of all men is 340,000 years old

So before that they were all women?

Well, to track Female progenitors,
one would characterize mitochondrial DNA
You don't get that from dear ol' Dad

There were no women back then, silly!

There was just "gay" men back then, except they didn't know they were gay. And, they kept trying and trying and trying to procreate, until one of them children turned out to be different, and we now know that different type of "human" as the female of the species.

See how simple that was?

Bad reporting.

Every man now living on earth is descended from this individual male who lived 340,000 years ago. Of course he had parents, grandparents,uncles, cousins and lots of other relatives. But the descendants of all of his uncles and brothers have died out by now. (I'm sure in your family tree there are collateral relatives who either died without children or whose children have no descendants living now.) He is the last, not the first, common ancestor of modern humanity.
