Mitochondrial Eve

Mitochondrial Eve is essentially the mother of every human on earth.  The reason that she is named after the organelle called Mitochondria is because of this: unlike all DNA and all organelles of our bodies, mitochondria does not split when reproducing.  Mitochondria comes from the maternal side alone.  We cannot live without mitochondria.  Therefore, we conclude that Mitochondrial Eve is the mother of all.  To understand more about Mitochondrial Eve, click HERE.
