That goes without saying. mtDNA tells one story, Y chromosome DNA
tells another story, and the story told by the complete genotype,
including all mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, cannot even be
represented as a tree-like diagram. Speculation concerning the
language of any particular "Adam" or "Eve" has no scientific basis.
