The woman Eve is portrayed as the mother of all mankind. A mother that we all descended from and are related to. Eve was alive roughly 150,000 years ago originating in East Africa. We know this from the scientific breakthrough of genetic tracking. This sort of new science allows us to follow the journey that our ancestors had taken long before getting here. We are able to observe these families of Eve travel through climate changes, rivals, and many more hardships on their way to their final destination. By following these families of Eve we are able to see who we are and where we come from. Basically the questions that mankind has been asking and wondering for years. About 150,00 years ago when the world was in an Ice age in North Africa

In order to survive these modern humans depended on hunting for their source of food. Since there was sparse food at times, hunting was a serious tactic. It took great concentration and communication for those who needed to get food back to their families. Through genetic tracking we are able to see a lot more than what researchers have ever imagined. Over 7,000 generations from Africa spread out to every part of the world. Having this tracking device allowed us to see how and why this movement and separation of groups happened. Archeologists are able to tell us how the modern humans lived and survived in these days and conditions. By looking at our genetic heritage we are able to find out who we are and where we come from. Researchers observed that the real eve was not the only woman to be alive at the time. There were many daughters and other women who had survived as well. They were able to find this out because of Eve’s mitochondrial DNA. Her DNA was the only successful DNA that kept tracing back to people’s line of ancestors. DNA is what defines us and is found typically in our cells. Men inherit their genes from their mothers just like daughters do as well. One researcher Rebecca Khan studied mitochondrial DNA and focused mainly on how all humans are a
