Mother Of Us All

'Eve' as depicted in course outline brochure at the University of Minnesota - DuluthMitochondrial DNA, which we get exclusively from our mothers and mutates at a constant rate, allows science to trace the entirety of humanity back to a single female in the Great Rift Valley of Africa about 150,000 years ago.

"Mitochondrial "Eve."

I went looking for the Biblical "Eve" on Wikipedia and found on the eve of Mother's Day, not only had a prankster edited the article... Eve had undergone a sex change:
Genesis tells the story of Adam and Steve in chapters 1, 2 and 3, with some additional elements in chapters 4 and 5:

In Genesis 1 God creates humans "male and fish" in His image, and gives them dominion over the living things He has created, and commands them to "be fruitful and multiply." In so doing, he caused the first gay couple to procreate with each other, creating such beasts as John Howard and the Spice Girls.
Although, over time, a wiki will arrive at collective wisdom, any given viewing may show the work of a single wise ass.
