Science has discovered our genetic Adam and Eve. These individuals survived profound climate disasters.
The most recent sever climate change is the Wurm Ice Age from 500 to 3,500 generations ago. The Riss Ice Age lasted from 6,500 to 9,000 generations ago.
Adam lived about 3,000 generations ago during the peak of the Wurm Ice Age. This was compounded by the Toba volcanic eruption to create a global extinction event.
Eve lived about 7,000 generations ago during the peak of the Riss Ice Age.
DNA studies indicate that all modern humans share a common female ancestor who lived in Africa about 140,000 years ago, and all men share a common male ancestor who lived in Africa about 60,000 years ago.
