> I'm not sure how much of a "plot twist" this is

I was taught differently in 1998.

There was the press coverage of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Australopithecus) which was referenced in a scene of https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2872732/

It can be said that it's a plot twist that was stoked for decades.

I remember being taught that there was a paternal component of mtDNA, but that the contribution was really small (<10%, maybe <1%). However, I don't remember if this was undergrad (~ 1998) or grad (~2000)... probably grad school.

I was an undergrad, which still puts us both above the vast majority in education.
