okay, i am just wondering. for those who don't know too much about DNA and that, we have the exact same mitochondrial DNA as our mothers. (for the record, mitochondia is a little organelle with its own DNA in our cells that, among other things changes food into energy).
the thing i don't get, is that if eve was the mother of all humanity, we should all have the same mitochondria (barring a few mutations, but even then the vast quantity would be extremely similar). but, we don't. is there a reason (did the tower of bable fuck with DNA?) for this or something, because i can't be the first person to notice this.
