"The hypothesis of a mitochondria Eve is about 17 years old and has been shown to be wrong ."
"Really ? When and by whom ? I was n't even aware that it was an hypothesis but simply a mathematical concept derived from the mutation rate of the mitochondrial DNA . Possibly the time has been adjusted due to differing estimates of the mutatiion rate , but the concept is valid . Here is some information . Monty , I would recommend that you read the books suggested so that you might gain some understanding of what you are discussing . You continue to make yourself look foolish . River out of Eden is a good , basic introduction to the main concepts of evolutionary biology . For information on Mitochondrial Eve see What , if anything , is a Mitochondrial Eve ?"
