Eve

 

 

 

 Mitochondrial Eve was someone who contributed a vital cell component – the DNA of the mitochondria – to all of her children, who then passed it to everyone in future generations.

She lived in sub-Saharan Africa about approximately 170,000 years ago, about the time period when Homo sapiens split off from other Homo genus groups.
