Mitochondrial Eve | The Mother of Humanity

#Genetics #Mitochondria #Africa
Scientists have known for a while that the cradle of mankind is at the heart of Africa. Evidence to support this was just recently published. Mitochondrial Eve has been hyped as perhaps the biggest research results into the search of human origins. Lets look deeper into our origins and the strange similarities between all our mitochondria.

Here in South Africa, we have a cave where first human fossils were discovered and that cave is called the “cradle of humankind”. I’m not shocked that the L0 might be traced back here

[darynas]

Wow 🤩
Thank you for explaining in such a simple language to understand

[hanifel-amin]

Nice job.
I loved your presentation. Keep up the good work.

Greetings from Ghana!! Excellent info!

For me it's the SMILE u had on ur face the whole time...I have 47% Khoisan in my blood line and from my 3x Great Grandma and GrandPa I inherited most of their Genes. I also have Yoruba and Ghanian all thru my DNA as well. I enjoy hearing this about my 16, 000 G🥰🥰🥰🥰randma.

Thanks - very interesting - very good presentation!!

Why is it the most recent DNA we all share? Does it get overwritten at some point? What happened to the older Mitochondrial DNA?

[cheezeball]

We still don't have enough complete data to show this. It still is evolving, and changing. Wouldnt be surpised if data changes to where human originate from in 50 most of the fossils to prove this, may not be around....but this is a well presented and will give thumbs up.

You just got yourself a new subscriber...keep up

Mitochondrial Eve.

Humanity is one large family. We should all act like we are a family. Unfortunately, greed is the fly in the ointment.

Mitochondrial Mother > Mitochondrial Eve

In Islam, on the day of judgment, every single human being will be called by their mother, that is, so so person son/daughter of so so woman. No one will be called by their father. And now it makes complete sense to me why. We are 75% our mothers. Fascinating.

So we all have the same great great great great great x16000 grandmother

[jonellstevenson]

I have the LO gene ^.^ 23 and me told me

Just got my DNA halpogroup back from my mother, and she's L0a1a, thanks mommy.

We all come from 1 woman but there are 2 distinct adams. Ours came from Eurasia. Ours began at cf ends at t. A, b, d & e did not come from cf.

The first migration map in the video is incorrect; the "out of Africa" crossing occurred at the MOUTH of the Red Sea during an ice age when the sea level was much lower. DNA studies have proved this. See Stephen Oppenheimer's book, "Out of Africa's Eden."
