| Thats one, also the modern cro-magmun suddenly appearing and replacing Neanderthal and not absorbing Neanderthals is another
They (scientist) right now are betting on microdrial DNA ( very small sample- your EVE) as the line of modern human.
They've also found a hybrid Neanderthal - traits of modern and Neanderthal but at present it doesn't fit the accepted version.
Thats why I always enjoy the scramble when the scientist have to rethink and adjust their view.
This new isolated gene pool developed modern techniques. These techniques are one of the limiting factors against including Neanderthals in the 'man' line.
But now that exclusionary fact no longer seems valid now does it.
