ГSTUDY BACKS U.S. THEORY THAT HUMANS DESCENDED FROM AN       Г
ГAFRICAN WOMAN                                               Г

ГWASHINGTON (SEPT. 27) DPA - A team of U.S. researchers      Г
ГThursday said they had found important new evidence to back Г
Гup a theory that all humans originated from one African     Г
Гwoman around 200,000 years ago.                             Г
Г                                                            Г
ГAnthropologists from Pennsylvania State University and the  Г
ГUniversity of California in Berkeley said the ''strongest   Г
Гconfirmation yet'' had come from an analysis of the genetic Г
Гmaterial DNA.                                               Г
Г                                                            Г
ГThe scientists contructed a ''tree of evolution'' after     Г
Гtracing DNA from 189 people in various parts of the world   Г
Гback to a single ancestor, a woman who they estimate lived  Г
Гbetween 166,000 and 249,000 years ago.                      Г
Г                                                            Г
ГThe results lend further weight to a U.S. theory on African Г
Гorigin put forward in 1987.                                 Г
Г                                                            Г
ГThe researchers call the common ancestor ''Eve'' and say sheГ
Гprobably lived in sub-Saharan Africa. Her people were dark- Г
Гskinned, shorter and stocker than modern humans, said co-   Г
Гauthor of the 1987 study, Mark Stoneking.                   Г
