The Eve Gene… Facts They Can’t Argue With
Some comments don’t even be aimed at me, but they hit that nerve anyway. Especially the tired ones about what Black women “can” or “can’t” look like. It’s wild, because science been confirmed what some folks still refuse to accept… Black women are the blueprint.
Every human alive today shares mitochondrial DNA that traces back to an African woman who lived over 150,000 years ago. That’s the Eve Gene. That’s not a theory. That’s documented genetics. Mitochondrial DNA comes only from mothers, so the unbroken line that connects the entire human family runs straight through a Black woman’s lineage.
Black populations also hold the highest genetic diversity on Earth… which is exactly why natural blonde hair, red hair, blue or green eyes, freckles, every texture, every shade, all exist in African DNA without needing outside mixing. Melanesians alone prove this with their natural blonde hair caused by a TYRP1 gene variant that developed in their community, not Europe.
High diversity means oldest population. Lower diversity means newer offshoots. Which means every branch of humanity is a remix of the original.
So when people try to drag a Black woman for wearing blonde hair, they’re ignoring the simple truth… our DNA created the possibility in the first place.
