I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Organs Zone. It has scientists studying health and disease in various parts of our bodies. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
Great question, desi1188.
I personally believe in evolution and that we came from monkeys!
I think this is why I like bananas so much!

I think that everyone is very closely related. I think the most recent genetic evidence suggests that we all came from seven or so groups of people that lived a long time ago (in Africa). So yes….we’re all family. But from two people? Nope…can’t quite believe that one.

We are all “somewhat” related, sure. But as different “tribes” migrated to different parts of the world, and the presence of selection and the influence of different environmental factors, we are no longer as similar as we once were.
The adam and eve story is a nice one. But it doesn’t quite explain/ account for everything.

Our mitochondria, tiny organelles that provide power to our cells share very similar DNA. You get your mitochondria from the ovum of your mother and these tiny powerhouse’s can replicate all by themselves, independent of the mother and fathers DNA, so they don’t get mixed up. Your mother’s mitochondria came from your grandmother, and she got her’s from her mother and so on and so on and so on. Same for boys too.
Some people believe that there is a mitochondrial Eve, a woman in Africa some 200,000 years ago who’s mitochondrial DNA we all share. DNA mutates all the time, with every division, even in the mitochondria so I doubt that it would be the same as Mitochondrial Eve!
There is no evidence to support the idea that we came from Adam and Eve and Carina describes the scientific thought on where and from whom we came from.
