Genetic Eve

Artist Statement:

a small piece that is a long time musing of mine.

When I was a kid they broke the genetic code and came to find out that humanity’s genetic Eve likely came from African descent.

I remember thinking that it was too bad people like Hitler didn’t know this was their original mother. How much hate and evil could have been avoided if only people like home knew their roots?
