Mitochondrial Eve

Mitochondrial Eve is the woman from who mall living humans today descend, on their mother's side, and through the mothers of those mothers and so on, back until all lines converge on one person. Mitochondrial Eve is estimated to have lived around 200,000 years ago most likely in East Africa. even though all people have descended from this mitochondrial eve we all look different. This is because as people migrated from different people they adapted to different environments which had effects on them such as changes in their appearances.
