I’m confused. Is it 4000 or 190,000 years ago?

Yeah, I had the same thought. My $$ is on 190K.

4000 for the Bronze Age King siring half of European males (I assume females too).

190,000 for the supposed Adam who sired all of modern man. What's really interesting is in another article, the supposed Eve lived around 60,000 years ago. the 130,000 difference really confuses me.

Half from the monarch 4,000 years ago. Every man in Europe from a guy 190,000 years ago.
