“In one of the most provocative and misunderstood studies of the year, scientists in the U.S. and Switzerland have made an astonishing discovery: All humans alive today are the offspring of a common father and mother – an Adam and Eve – who walked the planet 100,000 to 200,000 years ago, which by evolutionary standards is like yesterday.”  - - Mark Stoeckle, The Rockefeller University, NY and David Thaler, University of Basel, CH, 2018.

This means that sometime during the Illinois Glacial period (the one before the Last – the Wisconsin)… or during the last interglacial (warm; the Sangamon) nearly all species renewed themselves from a severely depleted gene pool.

I will try, here to insert an image from the Vostok Ice Core data:

If you really must know… an eruption from the super volcano, Yellowstone, could accomplish this mini-extinction.  The last time Yellowstone erupted was 650K years ago… at the end of the Nebraskan interglacial period.

Humans populated North and South America ~ 30K to 15K years ago before the Holocene (present) interglacial period.

“That said, Stoeckle and Thaler’s study does line up with the Bible in at least two notable ways. First, it affirms that we and our fellow creatures on Earth arose from a recent and profound creation event, orchestrated by some unknown mechanism. And second, the DNA bar codes reveal that species are quantized. Instead of there being a continuum of animal varieties, as one might expect from millions of years of gradual evolution, creatures fall into very distinct, widely separated populations – what the Bible describes as “kinds,” from the Hebrew word min.”
