Y Chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve: Polygenism and probabilistic considerations

Betty and Charles were Neanderthals.
LOL. Woops. DNA evidence says they diverged around 500,000 yeas ago.
He needs to learn about Genetics and how mtDNA really works.

There was no Adam, and no Eve.
All this means, (which you have misinterpreted) is that other lines died out. There were (obviously) many lines of humanoids.
Most of their mythology was taken (syncretically) from Sumerian / Babylonian literature. Exact references available on request.
You need to take "Comparative Mythology". No serious scholar of the OT or Ancient Near Eastern Mythology takes the Adam and Eve myth seriously as fact.
Wen you start to study the Bible texts, you should read "How the Bible Became a Book", and "who Wrote the Bible", Dr. William Schneidewind (UCLA) and Dr. Richard Friedmann.
The most pre-eminent archeologists in Israel today, see below, say there is almost no historical value in the OT, certainly not the Garden Myth.
The "disobedience" theme of the garden myth has been proven wrong by the famous Jewish philosopher Martin Buber who explains in Part II of "Good and Evil" how the Babylonian concept of "chaos vs order" is really whet is present in Genesis, (not a "disobedience" about an apple).

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn
