What's misunderstood about that study is that the women were separated by hundreds of years, they've just had the longest continuous chain of ancestors without their branch terminating. It wasn't 7 pregnant women at the same time.

interesting info! do you have a good link for casually reading about it?

This is a good start! In fact, we all share one common mitochondrial Eve.

But others branched out after her, again separated by thousands of years.

Yup, but we did get close to extinction at one point. That would be an interesting alternate timeline to see.
