This is really rather silly, and obvious, since science now believes that ALL humans are descended from a common ancestor in that same [100k yrs] time frame. Yawn, nothing to see here folks, move on...

This is no more remarkable than, in a creationist environment today or 200 yrs ago, to say that after all, we ought all to get along, we are all descended from Adam and Eve... The Bible goes on to say explicitly that we are all made from one flesh, in the beginning.

However, some very real and important differences have arisen since those idyllic primeval days. If you don't believe me, just TRY to get into Harvard, or a government job, if you are of my race! It is the GOVERNMENT itself that is declaring that race is all-important, it is THEY that are the "racists," and all rewards and positions in the USA are being handed out according to racial categories.

You have the timing off. Mitochondrial "Eve" existed (probably) about 200,000 years ago in Africa. Y-Chromosome "Adam" existed (probably) 60,000 years ago, also in Africa.

This is all new stuff, and exciting for those with a scientific turn of mind.

Only those whose brains are dead to the sense of wonder would yawn. Only people whose minds are closed would say "I've seen it all and have nothing to learn."
