Due to an odd quirk of genetics and some unique evolutionary circumstances, two humans who lived at different times in the distant past managed to pass on a very small fraction of their genomes to you. And to me. To all of us.

Wow, I knew about the mitochondrial DNA passed down from mothers but I didn't realize it was an unbroken line from mother to daughter repeating all the way till now! That's absolutely crazy. I thought it must live in male DNA too but I guess not.
It does, it just doesn't get passed down to the children.
And all throughout history we had it wrong, thinking the specialness was in men’s lineage!
@@chrlpolk I don't know that many people thought genetics were only passed in make lineage.
It is more of a legal thing.
@@chrlpolk Nobody thought that
Men have mitochondrial DNA from their mothers too, but they don't become mothers and therefore can't pass it on further.
Fascinating. Considering that our "common male ancestor" would have had more opportunities, biologically speaking, to pass on his genetic material than our common female ancestor, who perhaps could have had as many as 15 children or so versus the male who may have been that "productive" every year of his adult life, her story is more impressive to me. Thank you for your service, super grandmom.

Just to confirm my interpretation - so this lady 70,000 years ago is essentially everyone’s great-great-great-great grandma? And every woman alive has a direct maternal lineage that goes back to that woman?
She must have made the best snacks
Yes.
But not only is she everyone's great-great-great... grandmom. She's everyone's MATERNAL great-great-great... grandmom.
So there are other women who lived at the same time as this woman, who is known as "mitochondrial Eve", who are also your great-great-great... grandmom. But not in a direct maternal line.
yeah i dont buy it it seems impossible
@@E.a.Z.S.e.n.T It is extremely far away from impossible. It is more like inevitable.
So what is the reason why you think it's impossible? I think it's simply because you don't understand it.

Wait wait wait, X & Y do recombination during the process of creating gametes, it's a very narrow region, but it does happen. This is also why sometimes we'll get a mistake and have the SRY on an X chromosome which leads to a biological male, although chromosomes will look like a female.
Ideally, however, you want the bulk of the X chromosome and the Y chromosome to NOT recombine. But for genetic variation, you definitely want that safe region to experience recombination, and obviously mutations over time that lead to improvements in survival.

not all your classmate have the same learning capacity/speed as you do. You know that right?
Do you pay as close attention to your teachers as you paid to this video?
This whole education system is designed to get people ready for work. It isn't really interested in higher learning. For that, you have to seek elsewhere. Pay attention to what gets cut out of education curriculums when money "gets tight."

Actually no. There would have been a good chance for several groups to´compete against each other.
I'm curious this is what we know from the dna we have studied. I mean if we were to study more people's dna we would find a possible different lineage?
How crazy would it be to go back in time and tell these two people "You both will be the true parents of humanity." I think they might be a little disappointed in us.
They are not. It's like you just read the title and went straight to commenting without actually watching the damn video.
If you actually watched it, you'd hear he said we have a ton of ancestors, but due to the limitation in genome sequencing process which was done by hand, we used to only be able to trace a small fraction of human genes, ie these two simplest-to-trace genomes (mitochondrial and Y) that never crossed over but passed on along multiple direct lines of all-male or all-female lineages. Meaning that due to our limited computational tool, we used to have only a small window to peek at only two simplest people out of the whole combinatorial population of our ancestors, while the rest of our ancestors whose MAJORITY of our chromosomes (non-mitochondrial, non-Y) got shuffled and passed on to us in a more complex pathways over the millions of years were beyond our capability to trace, pre computer-based genome sequencing.
And this is changing, with computers, we're just starting to learn more about the rest of our ancestor population.
