95% of Native Americans descended from 6 women.  (Link courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] glitch25.)

Well, day-umn, dude.  Those six chicks got around, nudge nudge, wink wink, knowwhutImean knowwhutImean?  :)

"And this is Sleeps With Anything.  She's the mother of our tribe ... and I'm not speaking figuratively here."

Yes, I know, I am intentionally taking this out of context.

Well, let's face it, ultimately it's a pretty safe declaration that we're all descended from all of the original "human" population, however large or small that was. By the time you have a million years or so of interbreeding, everyone is related. I find it interesting that the mitochondrial DNA narrows down to so few lines, though.
