These bar codes, or snippets of DNA that reside outside the nuclei of living cells, suggest that it's not just people who came from a single pair of beings, but nine out of every 10 animal species, too

What?! Both people and animals are descended from a (certain) single pair of beings?

So, Homo sapiens and, say, zebras both descended from a single pair of beings?

Unbelievable! (Or: Unbelievably badly-written sentence!)

Thank you...I was thinking the same thing. And if we read that correctly then the science here isn’t quite as on board as originally surmised.
