Desmond Tutu Quotes

She Lived Approximately 200,000 Years Ago And Depending On How You Estimate The Length Of A Generation, We Are Only 5,000 To 10,000 Generations From One Another. To Put It Another Way, Each Of Us Is A Cousin Of One Another At Most 10,000 Times Removed. And Yes, Mitochondrial Eve Lived In Africa, So, In A Very Real Way, We Are All Africans.
