粒線體夏娃 - 维基百科,自由的百科全书
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]。
粒線體夏娃一詞并不是由原来的研究者阿伦·C·威尔逊所命名[3][4]。粒線體夏娃並非是她生存年代時的唯一的女性,而是當時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,只是她們至少有一個世代的後代只有男性,故其粒線體DNA未流傳至今[5]。除了粒線體夏娃之外,其他女性都不是所有現存人類的最近的母系共同祖先,因為她們的後續世代,至少有一個世代的後代只有男性,因而而中斷了粒線體DNA的流傳。[1][6]
