2. “In new geneti studies of modern human origins, scientists think they have found strong evidence that there was an ancestral ‘Adam’ about 188,000 years ago to go with the previously discovered ‘Eve’. The scientists used certain male-specific segments of the Y chromosome, the chromosome passed from father to son, to trace the common ancestry of every man now on earth to that period. Earlier analysis of the DNA of the mitochondria… indicated that all humans have as a common ancestor one woman who lived in Africa some 200,000 years ago — and inevitably has been stuck with the name Eve. All human mitochondrial DNA now extant, it seemed, dervied from a single ancestral mitochondrial molecule from that place and time.”
