Did God ensoul all of them simultaneously?  Mitochondrial DNA evidence suggests that that must have been the case.  But that would seem absurd, and in any case is not suggested anywhere in scripture nor later doctrine.

Why would mitochondrial dna show if someone had a soul or not?

common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
