Yes, it has been checked. Mitochondrial DNA mutates at a steady rate from environmental damage, and has been used to determine (we think) the patterns of ancient human migration and genealogy. There was one original mother in West Africa, from whom two other lines of African descent sprung. The second of those lines was the one that branched (ultimately) into European, Asian, and New World subgroups. This does mean, Fabrikant, that you are pretty much forced to accept the notion that we are *all* niggers. > > By the way, if Eve was really created from Adam's rib, this was the > first case of human cloning. One thing, though, is not clear: anyone > cloned from a rib of a male would be a male too.

The Bible has several examples of holy, righteous men who engage in incestuous relationships. Possibly the "missing rib" is a metaphor for the shortened Y chromosome in males, essentially an abbreviated X chromosome. Possibly it is just a story concocted by an ancient people who had knowledge of how to use one plant's cuttings to grow a second, independent plant, and figured that their deity must have used a similar method.
