Unbroken Mitochondrial line?

Um while those stats may be correct, lets put that in proper context. Those stats are about the 1% to 2% not the 98%. Our DNA with all life is mostly the same. The differences between looks in those stats you talk about are the face cards that make each card look different. The back of the DECK of cards is still the same for all life.

No.  Perhaps an more appropriate analogy is all genes of all known life on earth are like different books written using the same alphabet, in the same fonts, printed with the same ink.

The papers the books are printed on may be slightly different, but it is clear they are all compatible with the same ink, and some process can be deduced which over time can change the paper from one type to another.

The books are of vastly different lengths.   At first glance the paragraph and page breaks can be arranged in very different ways.  Much of the text also appears to be very different.  

However, much of the text also appear to be gibberish, following no clear grammar or diction and using no decipherable vocabulary.   Further evidence of the fact that these sections appear to contain no organized information is provided by the fact that arbitrarily changing these passages appear to elicit no differences in the responses and behavior of the those reading these books.

However some parts of the text appear encode organized information because changing parts of these causes readily observable changes in the responses and behaviors of the readers.   But these sections appear very similar in grammar, diction and vocabulary between all the books.

This is an excellent analogy and explanation.
