    It helps me to remember that mitochondrial Eve isn’t a fixed individual, as well.

    • Imagine being the last (female, strictly matrilineal) descendant of one of her daughters: “If I die without a daughter, the line of Alice will end and that bitch Caitlin will become the new Eve!”

      Hell, imagine fighting a secret war to extinguish the other line - now there’s a “secret society conspiracy” plot if I’ve ever seen one.
