Two reasons why Creationists haven't picked up on it:
1. It was discussed in the scientific literature on evolution,
and if you reject evolution, you don't tend to keep up with the
literature.
2. "Eve," so called, is far too old. She is anywhere from
50,000 to 500,000 years old, and as everyone knows, the world was
created in 6 days and nights, oh, about 5000 years ago (I'm not
whether Bishop Usher's calculations agree with the Jewish calendar,
which would put the Earth's age at 5248 years plus 4 1/2 weeks.)
