Nothing to be confused about.

The concept of Mitochondrial Eve was based on a wrong idea that mitochondria is inherited solely from the mother side. It has been shown that on some rare occasions it comes from the father too, so the Eve calculation is faulty and cannot be corrected at this time.

Not sure if you are aware of this website, but if you are able to digest information objectively, I recommend it.

4000 years ago is 2000 BC

The horse drawn chariot was just coming into use

Polygamy allowed one man to create enormous amount of
descendants in just few generations

Chariot borne warriors to advance much quicker and farther than earlier migrations

Corresponds with the mythical coming of the “ARYANS”

Supposedly much of Central Asia is descended from Gengis Khan

“It’s good to be King.”

‘And have your own world.
It helps to make friends,
It’s good to meet girls.

A sweet little queen who can’t run away
It’s good to be king, whatever it pays’

Petty..

The other half are descended from his cross-dressing son. Prince Wuss of Mangina.

What is best in life?

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!

Might have something to do with sex.

190,000 for the supposed Adam who sired all of modern man. What's really interesting is in another article, the supposed Eve lived around 60,000 years ago. the 130,000 difference really confuses me.

Some chicks really dig older guys.

How do we know he was a Chief? Coulda’ been some janitor somewhere who was damned good looking...

I was thinking traveling salesman - there are a lot of farmers' daughters. Wheeled transport would have given the first salesman the means to travel widely, while metal working gave him a product in high demand to peddle.

Indeed. However, we might be part of a Mongol linage:

“In 2003 a groundbreaking historical genetics paper reported results which indicated that a substantial proportion of men in the world are direct line descendants of Genghis Khan. By direct line, I mean that they carry Y chromosomes which seem to have come down from an individual who lived approximately 1,000 years ago. As Y chromosomes are only passed from father to son, that would mean that the Y is a record of one’s patrilineage. Genghis Khan died ~750 years ago, so assuming 25 years per generation, you get about 30 men between the present and that period. In more quantitative terms, ~10% of the men who reside within the borders of the Mongol Empire as it was at the death of Genghis Khan may carry his Y chromosome, and so ~0.5% of men in the world, about 16 million individuals alive today, do so.”
