The woman Eve is portrayed as the mother of all mankind. A mother that we all descended from and are related to. Eve was alive roughly 150,000 years ago originating in East Africa. We know this from the scientific breakthrough of genetic tracking. This sort of new science allows us to follow the journey that our ancestors had taken long before getting here. We are able to observe these families of Eve travel through climate changes, rivals, and many more hardships on their way to their final destination. By following these families of Eve we are able to see who we are and where we come from. Basically the questions that mankind has been asking and wondering for years. About 150,00 years ago when the world was in an Ice age in North Africa many little groups of people lived during then. These people were the first official modern humans. These modern humans were the same as we are today. These individuals had the same instincts to hunt and gather food in various harsh conditions. These first people of mankind would go great distances to gather food and find shelter for their families.

In order to survive these modern humans depended on hunting for their source of food. Since there was sparse food at times, hunting was a serious tactic. It took great concentration and communication for those who needed to get food back to their families. Through genetic tracking we are able to see a lot more than what researchers have ever imagined. Over 7,000 generations from Africa spread out to every part of the world. Having this tracking device allowed us to see how and why this movement and separation of groups happened. Archeologists are able to tell us how the modern humans lived and survived in these days and conditions. By looking at our genetic heritage we are able to find out who we are and where we come from. Researchers observed that the real eve was not the only woman to be alive at the time. There were many daughters and other women who had survived as well. They were able to find this out because of Eve’s mitochondrial DNA. Her DNA was the only successful DNA that kept tracing back to people’s line of ancestors. DNA is what defines us and is found typically in our cells. Men inherit their genes from their mothers just like daughters do as well. One researcher Rebecca Khan studied mitochondrial DNA and focused mainly on how all humans are a related to one another. She found that Africa was the birthplace of where all these people’s ancestors were coming from. These relatives of people were all linked back to one woman, Eve. We can understand that the first mutation of humans was sanctioned in Africa. The modern humans tried to find new territory by leaving Africa. These individuals sadly did not survive. The climate of the dry dessert trapped these modern humans. A place where they could no longer turn back. This dessert in the Middle East killed off not just themselves but their whole line as well. Most died because of the severe drought that left them behind with no water. Many bones were discovered in caves. One discovered, a woman with her baby beside her feet. These skeletons are said to be the oldest complete modern human skeletons that were found today. The survival of our ancestors solely depended upon the climate. Ice ages and desert storms separated and killed most groups making territories smaller. Archeologists began to find tools and reef that the modern humans used greatly. This showed researchers that at one point our ancestors lived off of sea life. If the fish, they found were not enough for their groups to survive this meant they were to move. They had two options to move across the Red Sea or the gates of Greif. They strode along the red sea crossing 10 miles through the water in to Yemen. This turned out to be the only successful exit modern humans had from Africa. When they arrived it was a struggle for them to stay alive for themselves and for their families. The Yemen was beautiful to them, green with water. It was a safe place for their families to stay. There was
