Parasite Eve

	Mitochondrial Eve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mitochondrial Eve is the name given by researchers to the woman who is the last common matrilineal ancestor of all living humans.
		Note that Mitochondrial Eve is not the most recent common ancestor of all humans, who is much more recent, estimated at living in historical times between the 2nd millennium BCE and the 1st millennium CE.
		Mitochondrial Eve is sometimes referred to as African Eve, an ancestor who has been hypothesized on the grounds of fossil as well as DNA evidence.

		Although researchers named her after the Biblical Eve, mitochondrial Eve was not the sole living female of her day.
		A recent challenge to the Eve theory has been the observation that the mitochondria of sperm are sometimes passed to offspring.
		The Japanese horror film and novel Parasite Eve use the Mitochondrial Eve theory as the basis for a fantasy about a scientist bringing his dead wife back by regenerating her liver cells, with disastrous effects.

		This requires the proponents of "African Eve" to posit a segregation of central Africans from the proto-modern population in which speciation occurred.
		By contrast, central Africans have always had a large effective population size (Tishkoff et al., 1996), and are characterized by extraordinary diversity (Kidd et al., 1998).
		The entire basis for the "Eve" hypothesis is in doubt, as mtDNA homogeneity may simply show the dilution of mutations caused by recombination.

		Similarly, modern Africans and Europeans and their descendants worldwide also may be able to trace their origins to people who lived in their homelands long before the purported "Eve" but also interbred with immigrants from other continents.
		"Eve" is the nickname given to a hypothetical African woman who, according to one widely publicized theory, was said to be the maternal ancestor of all living humans.
		The Eve story supported what came to be known as the "out of Africa" hypothesis, namely that all modern people are Eve's descendants who migrated through Arabia to populate Asia and Europe, replacing a more primitive species of human, Homo erectus, that had spread from Africa perhaps 1 million years ago.

	Creation Explanation 5k
		The conclusion that our race descended from some "African Eve" is based on a study of the DNA molecules contained in the mitochondria of cells collected from a limited number of individuals enlisted from a number of different population groups in various nations in Europe, Asia and Afro-Americans.
		Mitochondria are cell organelles which contain their own small complement of DNA and which are passed on from generation to generation in the egg cells produced by the females.
		Four kinds of evidence were mustered against the African Eve theory at this meeting--from comparisons of tooth structure, skull shape and social behavior, and from a reanalysis and reinterpretation of the original study of comparative sequences of mitochondrial DNA.

		The African Eve theory (Out of Africa, Second Migration, etc.) is based on the hypothesis that Homo sapiens sapiens (HSS) appeared in Africa over 100,000 years ago and migrated into Europe and Asia sometime afterwards.
		Since both the African Eve and Multi-regional theories are based on African origins, any genetic data without proper dating could support either theory.

		If Eve had lived among a million or a billion other females, it is very unlikely that all humans alive today could trace their descent to Eve (or to one female contemporary of Eve's).

	African Eve Theory Smashed by Computer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Since the theory dealt with the origin of modern humans (not the origin of all humans) biochemist Allan Wilson (University of California, Berkley) was a bit out of line in dubbing her "Eve." Although the theory was controversial, it was hailed as an important contribution by biochemistry to the understanding of human origins.
		The "African Eve" theory represented the second major attempt by biochemists to contribute to the question of human origins.
		The failure of the "African Eve" theory is just another illustration of the impossibility of constructing an authentic record of human origins by scientific means.

		And, he said, even when they knew better, they allowed popular media and the general public to interpret the Adam and Eve label as a literal parallel to the Biblical story of creation in which all people are descendants of one man and one woman.
		THE ROOTS OF AFRICAN EVE The African Eve idea began in 1986, when a group led by the late biochemist Allan Wilson of the University of California at Berkeley analyzed a special set of genes carried in the mitochondria, small organs inside cells that are passed down only through mothers.
		Similarly, a group led by Robert Dorit of Yale University, after analyzing genes in the Y chromosome carried only by men, deduced earlier this year that there was a common male ancestor at about the same time.

		It is believed that the descendants of this "Eve" that all humans claim as their ancestor began migrating out of Africa in batches some 70,000 years ago.
		The tribals' DNA is extremely close to the so-called African root gene of the single female ancestor, Singh said this week.

	The human race can be traced back to a woman in Africa named 'African Eve' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		While probing into the roots of modern man, scientists stumbled on a single woman in Africa and named her "Mitochondria Eve." This hypothesis, the conclusion of a study conducted by a group of scientists at University of California, Berkeley, is drawing attention as the "Mitochondria Eve hypothesis."
		"Eve" is passed on from one woman's body to the next, generation after generation, until "Eve" finally becomes aware of her identity.
		This is why scientists concluded that all modern humans are descendent from a single African woman and named her "Mitochondrial Eve." Thus, Mitochondrial Eve is not only a name of a single woman but the generic term for the ancestor of the entire human race.

	JTSA 99 On the eve of an African biblical studies West
		African readers, however, are far better placed to interpret the real subject matter of biblical texts—the mythical and the magical—because the questions the Bible addresses are similar to the questions ordinary Africans ask in their own African contexts.
		We should also remember that ordinary African interpreters of the Bible are not as transfixed and fixated by the text as their textually trained pastors and theologians; as Wimbush has indicated, their hermeneutics is characterised by “a looseness” towards the biblical text.
		A clear implication of this is that African biblical studies is one strand in a closely woven cord that is African theology.

		Their African Eve' who is the 'mother of us all' would have been part of this population.
		This is a much more traditional belief, one which claims that the separation of the different races of people happened a much longer time ago, and that the various races evolved their differences because of these long periods of isolation.
		In other words, in escaping the biblical implications of 'Eve' (by regarding her as one woman among many living in Africa 200,000 years ago) evolutionists must accept a scenario which in broad outline strongly parallels the Babel account.
