According to the non-religious scientific theory of Mitoochondrial Eve - we are all related - true/false?

Question

Before you go picking on Genesis, which to me is junk (but good poetry) regardless of science since there is no god - the question are we all related has merit, doesn't it?

Mitochondrial Eve is the most recent common ancestor of all humans via the mitochondrial DNA pathway, not the unqualified MRCA of all humanity. All living humans can trace their ancestry back to the MRCA via at least one of their parents, but Mitochondrial Eve can only be reached via the maternal line. Therefore, she necessarily lived much longer ago than the MRCA of all humanity.

Answer 1

I don't need M. Eve to prove that, we all come from an earlier common ancestor anyway. ALL life on this planet comes from the same source, the earliest surviving common ancestor.

Before christians try to hijack the eve story (I've seen some try and present this as the biblical eve), the following line is telling:
"The existence of Mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosomal Adam does not imply the existence of population bottleneck or first couple. They co-existed with a large human population."

Answer 2

...well, we are all human beings, aren't we? We must have a couple of things in common. But having an entire tribe as our real ancestors seems so much more probable. I fear that the mitochondrial Eve is just as much of a hoax as the original Indoeuropean language. Or else hum, it could be that the other ladies back then did have children, but their descendants did not get to be our ancestors unless their parents got mixed up at some point with descendants of the Mit. Eve?...

Ok, the next time I grab hold of a specialist in genetics, I'll ask this.

Answer 3

Well the scientific theory is we ALL came from the same first single cell animal. And that used cell division or replication. So no matter how you face it we have common RNA unless Science is now trying to say that RNA was formed on a variety of locations at the same basic time and that evolution spawed almost identical spieces in separate locations.

That would bring a whole new look at evolution.

So were Alligator and Crocidile made from different RNA pools in different locations or are they related through evolution.

RNA cluster groups would account for the various races.

But what are the odds of RNA cluster groups in Asia, Africa, Europe, America

This would totally conflict with migration theories.

So we go back to the most like, a single RNA cluster.

Then we have to tangle with the single primordial cell or multiple cells in the same pool with slighly different RNA elements.

If that's the case, then Darwin is not totally correct. Spieces would evolve discreetly from differnt RNA cell origins.

All these ramifications have to be considered, unless Okums Razor or the Las Vegas odds makers rule, in which case the one with the best odds is the one we consider to be highly likely.

Science tends to agree with religion on the point of common ancestry. It's the way it got started that is the issue.

Serendipity or willfull intent.

Answer 4

What people don't realize is that as the first woman to ever exist, Eve could have had children with the same man and their children could have had children with each other without it being incest (at least genetically). How you ask?

Proof 1.) If it was genetic incest, (physical incest is not in debate), The grandchildren would have suffered from Ataxia disease. In such a case humans would have died out in five generations. Since some millenia have passed and humans are still here, it is safe to say that Adam and Eve' children did not commit incest (genetically). Her mitochondria were so many and each so distinct that "it was like" her children weren't related at all.

Proof 2.) Eve had plenty of DNA to go around that even after several hundred generations we were and still are left with more than seven distinct mitochondrial DNA found in women. This is known as "The Seven Daughters of Eve."

Anyone can find out which tribe of the "Seven Daughters" they came from. Both men and women can learn the history of the women, whose mitochondrial DNA, they have inherited. For more info. click on this link: http://www2.wwnorton.com/catalog/spring01/002018.htm

Answer 5

Statistically, there HAS to be a mitochondrial eve since we all have a common ancestor. If this were not the case then you'd have a different human species (like the Neanderthal)

Answer 6

You don't even have to go back that far. Just as a set of parents might have two children, four grand children, eight, great-granchildren, and so on, it can be calculated about how many generations ago lived a person to whom everyone is likely to be related. Recent calculations suggest that's only two or three thousand years in the past.

Answer 7

gentle correction--regulation of gravity. Is gravity a tension or a textile? A theory is a working form. Quantum mechanics--Cat interior the container. Come on........... String theory. It has not been prevalent by using test and inexact. Einstein purely grudgingly commonly used a commencing up. He rejected singularities and the super bang. Hoyle in no way commonly used the super bang.

Answer 8

Quite possibly the most interesting thing I've ever learned about. Does it surprise you (anyone who reads this) that we actually all do come from the same place? Yes we really are all equal and we really all do have the same roots. Y chromosomal adam anyone?? Oh yes don't we love it!?!?! We really are all brothers and sisters in this world so maybe we should start loving one another as such!!

Answer 9

Yes indeed, we are all related. Every living thing on Earth is related to every other by common descent.

Answer 10

Yes, of course we are all realated, some more that others.
