#30DaysOfGenealogy A favorite ancestor. Eve.

 A favorite ancestor. Mitochondrial Eve. Without which we would not be here. She was the next step in the evolution of Mankind. the mother of us all. her DNA mutated creating a new species of primate. a mutant species we call the brotherhood of Man. I suppose that's a good reason to favorite her. 

as her descendants we are all mutants and the mutations didn't stop there. every now and then DNA mutates and creates a new bloodline. my ydna matches at one level do not match at a higher level because the bloodlines mutate or evolve to another line from time to time. 

although I have DNA matches at lower levels with the same name, we do not match at higher levels because the DNA changes and our common ancestor is actually from an earlier bloodline. 

in fact, we are all kind of X-Men carrying some genes that some of our ancestors may not have had. we are all different because of the mutations of our DNA. now if only I could get one of those super powers. help me Charles Xavier, you're my only hope.
