Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, DNA sequencing was sweeping the scientific scene with its power to answer a number of unsolved problems. Among the pioneers, in 1987 Cann et al. used mitochondrial DNA sequences to show that all women were the descendants of a single woman who lived some time around 200,000 years ago. Some subsequently used the idea to claim that this ancestor was Eve. Biologic Institutes Ann Gauger at ENV: ow.ly/yIAEs
