Science Says Adam, Eve Existed — Chalk one up for William Jennings Bryan and Biblical literalists. DNA researchers are saying humanity descends from a single couple who lived about 100,000 to 200,000 years ago.
OK, you can take a half-point off the board for the literalists on that.
What’s also notable is that the research shows nine out of 10 other species studied also shows descent from a single pair from about the same time.
