Human Origins and Genetic Ancestry

It's actually proven that Adam and Eve were real, and that we

are all their

descendants. Check this out. In 1987, Rebecca

Cann, Mark Stoneking, and Alan Wilson published a paper in the

journal Nature

that dropped a bombshell on our understanding of human origins.

Until then, the prevailing theory held

that different groups of humans had evolved

separately in different regions, but that turned out to be totally wrong.

Their groundbreaking work revealed that all humans carried mitochondrial DNA

in

their cells that dated back to a single woman.

There isn't just a mitochondrial Eve, which is the mother of all women.

There's also a genetic Adam, known as Y-chromosomal Adam.

When did they live? According to mainstream science,

mitochondrial Eve and

Y-chromosomal Adam lived between one hundred and fifty and two hundred thousand

years ago. However, in the peer-reviewed paper modeling the

recent common

ancestry of all living humans, scientists calculated

that everybody living

today does in fact have the exact same ancestors, and that these

ancestors lived between five and seven thousand years ago.

What do y'all think about that, man?

I think it's really cool anytime that the, uh, science come-- turns around and

confirms what we already knew to be true from the Bible.

I think it's always really cool when that happens.

But, uh, five to seven thousand years ago, that's pretty interesting.

That would, uh, definitely throw a wrench in some things

as well. I don't know.

But either way, uh, the timeline can be disputed,

but as you heard right there, it

is not disputed, uh, at least according to him, that,

um, th-there is a Adam and Eve, if you will.

Pretty doggone cool
