Mitochondrial Eve

Mitochondrial Eve is the source of mitochondrial DNA or mDNA in all of us and by default, mother of the human race. That explains her name, Mitochondrial Eve. From her all of the races of the world were sprung, since mDNA is passed down from the mother without the recombination that dna and rna have to go through. 

This is a representation of what scientists think she looks like.  


From her comes so many different types of people. 

Ecuadorian


Korean

Ethiopians

Scots

Cherokee

Kuwaiti 

Jamaican

American


We all came from the same mitochondrial mother, though changes and separations have made us different we are all still HUMAN
