  Of course its theory but intresting nonetheless.

  That's old news...

  That theory has been floating around for at least 5 years... Scientific American had an article on it, several years ago...

  With the advances in DNA science, it may be overturned eventually... Unless it's related to the homo sapiens "die-off" some 40,000 years ago - maybe longer - related to a massive volcanic eruption...

  Homo Sapiens are considered to be only around 100,000 years old; of course, that depends on which group of anthropologists' results one is reading...

  3 things:

  1) The existence of mitochondrial Eve (ME) is a logical conclusion; as such it lend equal evidence to both creation and evolution.
  2) humans and dogs share a mitochondrial eve to; though she was properly quite hairy and not very hot.
  3) the age is interesting though.

  How does that lend any credence to creation?
