Now, I am waiting on other replies, but if this is true, why would you need to describe this phenomenon as the result of a sunpervolcano? Couldn't this be used to support the Flood?
...just food for thought...

Supervolcanos & Mitochondrial DNA lack of anticipated diversity
OK, I saw this on the Discovery channel (**winces**) and I do not remember all the specifics, but here goes:
1. Mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother
2. There is less diversity of the Mit. DNA than was anticipated, so there is a theory that humankind was "bottlenecked" almost into extinction at some point in time and one current theory is that the "bottleneck" could have been caused by a supervolcano...
...any validity to these claims or is it just "pop" science?
