If the gene sequence of the male Y chromosome were mapped,would all males sampled have the same sequence?Since the male (human) receives the same Y that his father had, would the lineage be unbroken back to some unknown beginning? Aside from mutations/breaks etc an argument can be made that the chain IS unbroken. Maybe someone has considered this question and has some answers.Actual research may hve been done? When someone says that we are all brothers, in fact we are if you have the same Y as everyone else on the block!Hope to hear some real sense on this.

Y-chromosome Adam lived about 60,000 years ago. We are all cousins, as are all organisms. What does this have to do with spirituality?

And the same would hold true for mitochondrial DNA, which is passed down from mother to child. Barring evolution (which would be silly, but anyway...), you have the same mitochondrial DNA as your mother, and she as her mother, and she as her mother, and so on.

If there were no evolution, we would all have Eve's mitochondrial DNA. Funny enough, that's not the case.

"Aside from mutations/breaks etc"

Which is the reason why we all look human (relatively) but not identical. Mutation IS the reason for diversity.
