Mitochondrial Eveeeee

Mitochondrial Eve is said to the woman every body stemmed from and is related to by their mother's side of the family. People will eventually mate and become more diverse. We have all picked up different traits based on our location we grew up in and that is one of the answers to how we have come to be different from one another. Mitochondrial Eve is estimated to have lived 200,000 years ago. Her location was determined to most likely be in East Africa. Variations of mitochondrial DNA can be used to date back to Mitochondrial Eve because the mutations in mitochondrial DNA happen about every 3,500 years.
