How Mitochondrial Eve Connected All Humanity and Rewrote Human Evolution, was originally published in April 2011 in honor of the 25th anniversary of discovery of Mitochondrial Eve. It includes a good summary of the import of Mitochondrial Eve and the much younger Y-chromosome Adam. There is also discussion of how many potential ancestors you could have (and how many are statistically duplicates) and of our MCRA (most common recent ancestor).
