What are the scientific & theological implications of the story in this
morning's L.A. Times that the male chromosome has been traced back to an
ancestor in Africa, roughly 150,000 years ago?

This appears to confirm the similar Eve thesis, but what exactly does it all
mean?

At the very least, virtually all known hominids would be EXCLUDED as
ancestors.

And the rapid success of "Adam and Eve" would appear to make them quantum
leaps over anything created before.

What else is inherent in all this?
