[King Prout]

This theory is incorrect. All non-African humans are descendant from the same woman, called L1, who left Africa 80,000 years ago. All modern humans are descendant from a woman who has been named "Eve" who lived in Africa 250,000 years ago. This has been definitively proved via mitochondrial DNA analysis.

ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT.

You must bear in mind, all of "Eve's" female-descent relatives (her grammy, her sister, her matrilinial-descent 7th cousin 10x-removed) -I SAY AGAIN: ALL OF THEM- had the same mitochondrial DNA.

The mitochondrial analysis indicates we are related to "Eve"
The mitochondrial analysis CAN NOT indicate whether "Eve" had any offspring at all, let alone whether each and every modern human is descendant from such children.

Posting "discovery-channel" rubbish does not help us persuade people to reject ID/Creo rubbish.

It's the female version of the Thomas Jefferson-Sally Hemmings controversy.

You must bear in mind, all of "Eve's" female-descent relatives (her grammy, her sister, her matrilinial-descent 7th cousin 10x-removed) -I SAY AGAIN: ALL OF THEM- had the same mitochondrial DNA.

The 7th cousin 10 times removed probably had some polymorphisms. Mutation happens. Eve was dated in the first place using DNA clock estimates. The further you get away in time from the estimated date of Eve, the more polymorphisms in the matrilineal line.
