Here’s an important point missing from so many of these stories about “Adam” and “Eve” - by putting the most recent common ancestor FOR THE Y CHROMOSOME for ALL humans (well, males) back to 200,000 year we are talking about a “human” who pre-dates our modern selves.

Yes, that’s right, that person carrying that Y chromosome would probably not be though of as a modern Homo sapiens sapiens.

And with known admixture between different groups of the genus Homo, there is no reason to believe that the most recent female carrier of the mitochondria ancestor to all our mitochondria would be necessarily placed in the same species (or sup-species) as that Y chromosome carrier.

This is so far from the concept of “Adam” and “Eve” that exist in the popular imagination that using these two names is highly misleading.
