Mitochondrial Eve the Mother of humanity.... Queen to ALL of Humanity

The Science

Mitochondrial Eve is the name given to the most recent common matrilineal ancestor of all living humans — a woman who lived approximately 200,000 years ago in Africa. She is is unique because her mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), passed exclusively from mothers to their children, has survived unbroken through thousands of generations. This concept is grounded in genetics, not mythology.

“Mitochondrial Eve.” Unlike nuclear DNA, which is a combination of both parents' genetic material, mtDNA remains relatively unchanged over generations. The mtDNA genome is small, with 16,569 base pairs and 37 genes, all inherited maternally. Mitochondrial Eve provides insight into the genetic ancestry of modern humans and supports the idea of a single origin for all humans.

As people migrated and formed new populations, their mtDNA diverged into lineages known as haplogroups, but all of them can still be traced back to Eve. This discovery further supports anthropology and the “Out of Africa” model of human origins and highlights how all modern humans, regardless of race or location, share a common maternal ancestor deep in the human past.
