African eve?
So was there an African Eve? Perhaps but, despite progress, we do not really know very much about our origins yet. It is perhaps a bit like trying to predict the picture represented by a 5,000 piece puzzle - where we do not have the picture on the box - after discovering a few matching pieces in various places. We are influenced not only by what we see in the few pieces filled in but by what we want or expect to see in the vastly greater blank spaces.
