You and your neighbor are more closely related than you think. Despite physical, psychological and cultural differences, every living person has at least one thing in common - we are all related to one woman who lived in east Africa more than 150,000 years ago. The Discovery Channel presents a startling two-hour special, THE REAL EVE, debuting worldwide on Sunday, April 21. Narrated by actor Danny Glover, THE REAL EVE reveals that humankind's shared genetic heritage links every living person on earth. The program also traces the expansion of modern humans throughout the world, from our fragile beginnings in Africa to our exodus through South Asia, down to Australia, up into Europe and finally into the Americas. Unfolding like a scientific detective story, THE REAL EVE enlists top scientists and cutting-edge research to prove that everyone on the planet today can trace one part of his or her genetic heritage back to one woman who lived in Africa, more than 150,000 years ago, through a unique part of our DNA.
