The mitochondrial evidence is now more like 100,000 years ago. Attributing the human bottleneck to a specific geologic event (such as the Toba eruption) is difficult and not entirely clear.

Maybe you should consult someone who understands phylogenetics or abstain from commenting on subjects in which you lack understanding.

I do get a bit obsessive at times.
