We're studying, or will be anyway, Mitochondria inheritence and this made me think of the theory of a Mitochondrial Eve. That is to say that almost everyone shares a certain base percentage of the same mitochondrial DNA, inherited through the mother and the rest is created through random mutation and the father.

So, can anyone enlighten me further on this elusive subject?
