Our Ancestrial Mother

We did this whole thing on Mitochondrial Eve and how our Mit. DNA is passed down the maternal line with tiny variations (or mutations). This is different from our cellular DNA in which we get 50% from each parent. Mitochondrial Eve is believed to be from northeast Africa and due to an outgrowth of populations that became isolated we now have this huge diversity thanks to the differnt environments and climates of each region on earth. So here are a few pictures to show the diversity.
