Mitochondrial Eve


Mitochondrial Eve is  the matrilineal most recent common ancestor of all currently living anatomically modern humans, who is estimated to have lived approximately 100,000–200,000 years ago. 


Mitochondrial DNA is the DNA located in organelles called mitochondria, structures within eukaryotic cells that convert chemical energy from food into a form that cells can use. We can trace it through the human genome project.
