The idea of Mitochondrial Eve refers to the idea of a common ancestor between all living humans. Because mitochondria passes through generations maternally, it is believed that there is a woman that we are able to trace back every humans lineage to. Although "Mitochondrial Eve" was not the only woman of her time, she is the only female to have an unbroken female line all the way to the present day. As a result of a common ancestor, humans all have similar features with distinct differences. Here are photos from people across the world. Although there are obvious similarities, there are also differences that make it easy to distinguish peoples from across the world.
