Welcome, Mr Parsells. That’s a great question. There’s quite a bit of discussion on that regarding the “Genealogical Adam.” Book Reviews: The Genealogical Adam and Eve

Also, discourse.peacefulscience.org has many discussions on that.

There are also other models that involve that idea, based on the evolutionary evidence.

I’d be interested in what you think.
