"Anthropologists have gained evidence, although still controversial, that of all the women who lived in Africa 200,000 years ago, only one has any descendents still living today. This "mitochondrial Eve" is ancestor to us all." -- Anatomy and Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function by Saladin, 4th Ed.

And God promised Abraham he would make of him a great nation, with descendents as many as the grains of sand, or number of stars ... hm.

(In case you're curious: The article discusses mitochondrial DNA, which comes almost exclusively from the mother's egg, "any mitochondria introduced by the sperm are usually destroyed.")
