粒線體夏娃[编辑] https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B2%92%E7%B7%9A%E9%AB%94%E5%A4%8F%E5%A8%83
粒線體夏娃(英語:Mitochondrial Eve)或稱最近粒線體共同祖先(縮寫:mt-mrca)其粒線體DNA存在於任何一位現存人類體內,是所有現存人類的母系最近共同祖先(MRCA),而不是不加前提的所有人類最近共同祖先。後者的後代是經由女性與男性而繁衍下來,但粒線體夏娃只能追溯母系一方。
粒線體夏娃的生存年代比最近共同祖先更遠古,根據分子時鐘估算,約距今14萬年前[1],與她們相對的父系祖先「Y染色體亞當」,是生存在不同年代。
而如果使用误差较大的估计方法,最近共同祖先可晚近到只生活在3000年前,但这必须假定全球有效参与繁殖的人口为2.5亿,一个种群地区每代有一对迁移者等等。所以这个3000年的估计值只是用来检测评估模型分割种群大小的适合度,并非学者真正的结论[2]。
粒線體夏娃一詞是由艾倫·威爾森(Allan Wilson)所命[3]。她並非所生存的年代中唯一的女性,而是眾多女性的其中一位,而且其他女性同樣也有流傳至今的後代,只是今天的所有人類粒線體DNA並非源自她們[4]。除了粒線體夏娃之外,其他女性都不會是所有現存人類的母系共同祖先[1][5]。
