Discover the fascinating story of Mitochondrial Eve, humanity’s shared maternal ancestor who lived in Africa around 150,000–200,000 years ago. She wasn’t the first woman, a queen, or a legend — yet her genetic legacy lives on in every one of us.

In this episode, we explore how scientists traced mitochondrial DNA across the globe, uncovering the astonishing truth that all humans are branches of the same family tree. From survival through population bottlenecks to the origins of modern Homo sapiens, we reveal the remarkable journey of our species.

Tune in to reflect on our shared heritage and the unifying truth written in our very DNA: we are all, in a very real sense, children of the same grandmother.
