A study of mitochondrial DNA has concluded that humans and 90% of animal life came into being from one set of parents between 200,000 t0 100,000 years ago.  In their study, two geneticists, Mark Stoeckle from New York’s The Rockefeller University and David Thaler from Switzerland’s University of Basel, analyzed the DNA of five million animals encompassing 100,000 species before reaching their conclusion. Their study published in Human Evolution, counters the theory of evolution that requires animals to have slowly evolved over millions of years. Based on their study, most animals and all humans came from a single set of parents at roughly the same time. For animals to have derived from a single set of parents, the researchers concluded that some cataclysmic event must have taken place in the distant past to force a restart of human and animal life. For the record, the duo still believe evolution involving millions of years preceded this single event. Addressing this issue, David Thaler said: “This conclusion is very surprising. I fought against it as hard as …
