Not literally. We don't know that she had children or, if she had them, that they lived to child-bearing age.  Lucy was an Australopithecus afarensis and lived 3 million years ago. The Most Recent Common Ancestor is a so called  Mitochondrial Eve. She lived 100,000-200,000 years ago in East Africa and all human beings are her grandchildren.

Why are you bothering?  This guy is the most pedantic person on the internet.  He never shoots, all he comes here for is to have these inane conversations.  Just ignore him.

An experiment requires controls. Sequencing is just a method. It's used in experiments but in and of itself it is not an experiment. It is a technique.

correct.

that's why I said "if I trace..." active verb. Using the technique of sequencing I get results - of an experiment.




Actually, it's hypothesis > experiment > theory.

That's amazing that we are all related by as little as 5,000 generations or so.  I wonder what grandma "Mito" would say to all her kids today?
