The human population never dipped below 1000 and that's being extremely generous. It was never just one single couple, but an entire genetic line that ended up surviving better in the long run.

About 7,000 years ago, something weird happened to men: the genetic diversity of their Y chromosomes collapsed. It was as if there was only one man left to mate for every 17 women. The collapse may have been the result of generations of war between patrilineal clans structured around male ancestry.

isn't it obvious?
150,000 years ago there was a giant flood that wiped out most of life and Noah with all the animals he saved repopulated the planet with a few groups of surviving animals who managed to escape the flood another way.
It would seem the church got the dates wrong, or did scientists?

So ...
Just what does this do to the "racist" argument?
If we are all from the same genetic line, we must all be of the same race. This kind of matches up with part of my argument. I have, for years, wanted someone to show me a member of some other race, other than human, which lives on the planet earth.
I have been accused of being racist and have always expressed the fact that I am indeed all in favor of the human race over any others.
I would much rather disagree on politics or public policies, something worthy of changing, than something we all have in common.
Without delving to deeply into it all.....IMAGINE if all of UNIVERSAL LIFE is encoded the EXACT SAME WAY...what if life ANYWHERE in the Universe when it spontaneously blooms consistently finds its way under all circumstances to a humanoid form..representative of the original Father and Mother.
Pardon my ignorance ...
But your point being ???

Isnt this the Chicken or the Egg, conundrum?.
So ALL of Humanity is from One pair of Mummy and Daddy humans......
So....Who were Their Parents?.........who was the Grandma and Grandpa of Humanity?........and on it goes....
A lot of Bullswool, and too simplistic a "Theory"......as is the Out of Africa theory.
Noone has still answered the simple question....if all "Apes and Primates" came from Africa....how come there are monkeys in South America and Asia, and where did the Orangutan and Gigantopithicus come from?.
Not to mention the dominant mammal in Australia is the Marsupial....and there are No Primates.
Why are there only Marsupials in Australia?
There are way, Way too many variances for life on Planet Earth, to come up with one definitive idea.
It explains nothing.

Well I believe all creation began in the southpole. The emerald forest. In the middle of the southpole. Google it.

I read a book in college that said we as humans came from small organism in the ocean that grew into whales and along the way some flopped on shore and learned to breathe.
Guess saying every living thing is related?

Humans did not evolve from whales. They recently evolved from land animals / primates.

The book I read said at one time there was only marine life.
And an eel like creature flopped on shore, learned to breathe, and started all land animals?

It was creatures like the Tiktaalik, who were fish that had many features of four-legged creatures and started venturing on land.

Yes, there was only marine life originally, but they did not include whales. Whales came from the land and adapted to the ocean after the fact.
Your eel comparison is a straw man. Things don't just flop onto shore and magically breathe air. Amphibians came first and they could survive in both land and water. Organisms sometimes get isolated and forced to adapt or die out, but this is something that happens slowly over millions of generations. A single individually doesn't suddenly change to breathe midlife.
