EVE!

The holder of this title is believed by some to have lived about 140,000 years ago in what is now Ethiopia, Kenya or Tanzania. The time she lived is calculated based on the molecular clock technique of correlating elapsed time with observed genetic drift.

Mitochondrial Eve is the most recent common ancestor of all human via the mitochondrial DNA pathway, not the unqualified MRCA of all humanity. All living humans can trace their ancestry back to the MRCA via at least one of their parents, but Mitochondrial Eve can only be reached via the maternal line. Therefore, she necessarily lived much longer ago than the MRCA of all humanity.

If she is everyone's great great Grandmother, many centuries removed, then we're all cousins and AFRICAN-Whatevers!!!

Blood-thirsty savages?

[An Old NCO]

This could explain the failure of Indian Tribal governments as well.

I'm not confident that our native American populations are any longer distinct from one another, at least not in the west. Due to the requirement that reservations maintain a certain size population to remain an official reservation, our local reservation takes in anyone with any type of Indian family history, including Mexican Indians.

[Ptarmigan]

American Indians are a product of multiple migration. The latest migrations is what is the gene.

[ApplegateRanch]

They found the 9RA sequence in at least one member of all the Native American populations tested,

Doesn't really sound all that rousing of an endorsement.

Even less so, when one looks at all the major milling around & changing of "ancestral territories" that has gone on among the tribes just since Europeans arrived.

[ThanhPhero]

Could that be a result of westward migration? or of bidirectional migration? Is the storied "land bridge" strictly one-way?

[Sam Ketcham]

"The two populations in eastern Siberia, where the Bering land bridge once connected Asia to North America, also tested positive for the 9RA sequence." Ain't chain migration just grand!
