Today I received the astonishing news that I’m descended from a woman born 25,000 years ago on the eastern edge of the Black Sea.
This is science not science fiction but so “out there” I am still reeling from the awe-inspiring fact.
A month ago I rubbed the inside of my cheek with a couple of cotton buds, packaged them up, sent them off in the mail and waited to find out which of the so-called seven daughters of Eve my DNA would reveal I am descended from.
