"The Seven Daughters of Eve" was coined by
Bryan Sykes that wrote a book
explaining the connection between genetics and Mitochondrial DNA. He observed
there are 7 major "clan mothers" for European lineage. He has also given names
for the maternal common ancestors for 29 other lineages in the world, including
9 "clan mothers" in Japan alone.
To have a complete understanding of how this affects you and every other person
on the planet, this book goes inside DNA and Genealogy and how they function as
one.
