One of my academic areas of expertise way back in the day (late '80s and early '90s) were the so-called "Mitochondrial Eve" and "Out of Africa" hypotheses. The absolute mangling of this shit by journalists even at the time was migraine-inducing and it's gotten much worse in the decades since then. It hasn't helped that subsequent generations of scholars have mangled the whole deal even worse. The only advice I can offer people is that if the article (scholastic or popular) contains the word "Neanderthal" anywhere, just toss it.

I'm curious. Are you saying neanderthal didn't exist, or was just homo sapiens? Or did you mean in the context of mitochondrial Eve?

You fucking know it man. Deep in your heart you know it. The thing is, it doesn't matter.
