Simply false. Anyone who is even a little familiar with the genetic evidence knows that Mt eve and Y Adam were never the only people around, that they lived many thousands of years apart (in fact, Y adam is a distant child of Mt eve), and that the genetic evidence has confirmed again and again that the human population was never less than 20,000 to 40,000.
According to the genetic bottleneck theory, between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago, human populations sharply decreased to 3,000-10,000 surviving individuals.[26][27] It is supported by genetic evidence suggesting that today's humans are descended from a very small population of between 1,000 to 10,000 breeding pairs that existed about 70,000 years ago.[28]

However, there was no bottleneck for the Neanderthal, and we are all 2%-4% Neanderthal. (If you're white you'll have more.) Not only did our ancestors diverge and then recombine between Neanderthal and anatomically modern humans 40,000 years ago, there is also clear evidence of another lengthy divergence at 150,000 years ago followed by a recombination at roughly the same time as with the Neanderthal at 40,000 years ago. This second divergence was between eastern and southern Africans.
