many people ask, ``if a man is descended from monkeys, then why aren't today's monkeys turning into humans?''
I heard the official answer like in a fairy tale: ``a long time ago a small group (separated from a herd of monkeys) found hallucinogenic mushrooms (or fermented berries) in the forest; and start drunk walk on hind legs and began to develop science being drunk.''
According to references to peer-reviewed sources (links are on Wikipedia), all living humanity has a common ancestor in the direct male line (Y-Chromosomal Adam), and a common ancestor in direct female line (Mitochondrial Eve).
But scientists say that most likely these two did not have sex with each other, but lived in different centuries and other people lived next to them. However, if Y-Chromosomal Adam lived long before Mitochondrial Eve, then nevertheless Mitochondrial Eve's grand-grand-grand-grandmother (called ``Eve Original'' by the way) on direct female line has lived at the same time as Adam. Assume now that people and human-producing monkeys lived around Adam and Eve Original. Suppose there were 100 of these kindred relatives. Every man in 2019AC can trace his direct male line to one of these 100 creatures. Then the probability that the entire population of the Earth in 2019 has a common father in the male line tends to zero (1/100)^{7,000,000,000 / 2} = 0. And therefore the number was not the 100, but the 1. Indeed (1/1)^{7,000,000,000 / 2} = 1.
