What kind of event would cause the current Mitochondrial Eve to be replaced by a new one? This notion seems to conflict with the hypothesis that our current M-Eve was not the only woman alive at the time. Isn't it so that other contemporary women of our M-Eve do have living descendants, just not matrilineal? |

What kind of event would cause the current Mitochondrial Eve to be replaced by a new one? But these mutations can ultimately also be transferred to the offspring through patrilineal descendants, right? What factor makes it likely that this woman would become a M-Eve? Was our M-Eve really so different from other women alive at the time? |

What kind of event would cause the current Mitochondrial Eve to be replaced by a new one? This sounds fair, but I'm left wondering if the rate of extinction of mitochondrial lineages is dependent on the total population. At what rate do humans get a new M-Eve, and which factors influence that rate? |
