Somebody who understood what "mitochondrial eve" means wouldn't ask that. She was part of a population, not necessarily even at a time of a bottleneck. Her mitochondria is what got inherited by everybody later; for all other piece of DNA the source might be anybody in the population in which she lived. |
So are you saying some radiation spiked punctuated equilibrium came down from the heavens and turned a hole bunch of bonobos into homos all at once?
Or as I asked before. Did this apegirl breed with with alpha ape to make hybrid apeboys more vigorous than mutated gorillas on PCP and thus able to dominate their ancestral troop? |
That reply had nothing to do with what I said.
