Background
Our genetic mix of our parents, each of which

contributed half in our genetic. May we come from different regions of the planet

DNA mitochondria is unaffected by other genetic exchanges. Mitochondria have own DNA separate with others DNA.

Aim
To trace back who is the real ancestor of human being.

Definition
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell which

contain mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are passed only from mother to offspring. Mitochondrial Eve is the name given by researchers to the woman who is defined as the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for all currently living humans.

Why use mitochondrial


The egg (Fertilization) contains

mitochondria that have been passed from mother to daughter for countless generations. Male sperm contains only enough mitochondria to power the sperm to the surface of the egg it does not enter the egg.

The structure of sperm

7 daughters of eve (Over the past ten years, scientists research has identified just seven women, who lived thousands of years ago, from whom almost everyone in Europe is directly descended through the maternal line

Katrine : south central Europe

Ursula: Northern Greece


Xenia: Asia, North America Tara: Northen Europe Helena: Middle East Velda: france and britian Jasmine: Western Asia

Cases
The genetic survey that produced the whole

Mitochondrial Eve scenario didn't just sample Africans and Europeans it sampled genes from people all over the planet. When mitochondrial DNA was compared, the survey discovered a startling result. Fundamental similarities in mitochondrial DNA in living humans suggested that we all contain genetic material from a single woman who was living in Africa around 200,000 years ago.
