#12This is the most astounding news story I've read in a month. It is amazing that something like this could have happened as recently as 70,000 years ago. It does finally explain the African Eve, though.
What do you mean that it "finally explains the African Eve"? There would have to be a last universal common female ancestor whether this had happened or not.
It explains why she was so surprisingly recent.

Also amazing is how this recent population decline and rebound of people based in Africa was only a few dozens of millenia away from the "mitochondrial blonde" (if you will) 6-10k years agohttp://www.ku.dk/english/news/?content=http://www.ku.dk/engl...
