DNA Study Suggests all Humans may be Descended from Just Two People

Dec 13, 2018 Ian Harvey

The book of Genesis tells us that all of humanity is ultimately descended from just two people. Does science agree? According to the New Zealand Herald, a recent study says “maybe.”

The study was done by Mark Stoeckle and David Thaler of the University of Basel, Switzerland. They examined the “genetic barcodes” of over 5 million animals from 100,000 different species — and one of those species was humans.

Based on those barcodes, which are really just tiny bits of DNA from the mitochondria of living cells, the researchers concluded that their data are “consistent with” the hypothesis that all of humanity are the descendants of a single pair of adults who lived 100,000 to 200,000 years ago, writes the Herald.

The study showed that there is very little genetic diversity among humans when you look at our mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA is a part of our genetic code that is passed to us from our mothers and it doesn’t mix with our nuclear DNA, making it possible to trace a direct maternal genetic line.

I guess we're lucky that those two people were both in the same place at the same time or we wouldn't be here. :smile:

Not very surprising when you consider what else we have been able to find that confirms the Bible story..

We know were Noah's arc is, on the mountain the bible tells us it came to rest.

We know were Moses parted the Red Sea and took his people out of Egypt. There is actually a marker there...

In my youth, science and religion were on divergent paths.

Now in my maturity they are converging, as most of faith had hoped.

I look forward to more evidence of the Bible and Science merging finding the truth. :smile:
