"Evolutionists believed they had clear proof against the Biblical account, because ‘Mitochondrial Eve’ supposedly lived 200,000 years ago. However, recent evidence shows that mitochondrial DNA mutates far faster than previously thought.
If this new evidence is applied to ‘Mitochondrial Eve,’ it indicates that she would have lived only 6,000–6,500 years ago. Of course, this is perfectly consistent with the Biblically indicated age of the ‘mother of all living’ (Gen. 3:20) but an enigma for evolution/long age beliefs.
Interestingly, there is a parallel account with males: evidence from the Y-chromosome is consistent with all people being descended from a single man The data is also consistent with a recent date for this ‘Y-chromosome Adam.’" CMI
