According to Bryan Sykes, (a leading authority on DNA and human evolution) there is a remarkable gene which passes undiluted from generation to generation through the maternal line. Therefore, everyone can trace their ancestry back to one of seven women, the Seven Daughters of Eve.
In his book "The Seven Daughters of Eve" he names them: Ursula, Xenia, Helena, Velda, Tara, Katrine, and Jasmine...
As I was reading about this book... I started imagining what these women looked like... What kind of lives did they lead...
I wonder which one is my "mom"...
I like the name Tara... Could she be my great great ∞ grandmother?
Which one do you think is yours?
How far are we from discovering the story of our origin?
According to DNA experts, we can answer the first 2 questions.
The 3rd question however, will remain unanswered for a long long time...
