piddle.

Such who is more entitled to the remote is useless. The real issue here to me is the fact ABC is taking some other article and misusing it.

This is no differnt than saying portions of our brain are reptilian.

I have seen journal articles which purported that the Y chromosome was subject to very little change. This lead to arguments and spin in some "other" direction. All piddle.

My background includes hard science biology. The media usually gets it wrong based on their personal agenda. One should not just be sceptical about such articles one should disbelieve them FIRST and then have them proven correct. They are just trying to sex it up.

Astonishing. Words fail me. Well, not for long, words never fail me for long. -g-

So, if the shoe were on the other foot, and "Adam" were 120,000 years old and "Eve" were 60,000, would that make you happier?

Because what bothers you are the facts. The article is relating the facts as they are presently known to exist.

In the end this will be re-re-re-re-re-re-revised.

I agree with this part. Plus the article was poorly written. Common sense tells me the 60,000 year-old man had a father and inherited his DNA.
