The Y Adam
You are right that A is the Y Adam to the last generation on the chart (I hadn't noticed that ).
​
But all the first generation individuals (A -H) have descendents in the last generation so they are all ancestors to "today's" generation and they are all equally "recent". The whole population of A-H is exactly 3 generations back from S-Z. None of A-H is more recent than any others.
