Critical appraisal: "a single male ancestor?"

Reconciliation challenge — definition

There is a body of scientific evidence that people are not descended from a single male ancestor. Acts 17:26 includes the statement that God “made from one [man/source/stock(?)], every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth”. Can these be reconciled? User:Prue
