They picked a time period which is very convoluted in human evolution.

That I've seen up close. I remember when the slew of Mitochondrial Eve books started coming out, they had a book signing right at my local bookstore. The DNA people and the fossil people - or "bone heads" - don't necessarily see things eye to eye. There are arguments over things like whether the rate of mutations remain constant over 150,000 years, or the role of local variations in phenotypes in a population. It can get pretty heated, and this is just among the science people.
