Re: Happy New Year to you too --- you're suspended.

Evolution not gradual ?
It may not be. Check out punctuated equilibrium sometime. You may also wish to check out Sewell Wright's Shifting Balances Theory.
It is also generally believed that much of what Darwin thought to be true about Natural Selection did not always hold true. Check out Genetic Drift sometime.
As for Mitochondrial Eve, there are in fact competing hypotheses about how to interpret the data of mtDNA. Check out Multiregional Hypothesis with Milford Wolpoff.
I also recall we covered this ground a few years ago in this thread:http://EvC Forum: Neanderthals -->EvC Forum: Neanderthals
