In addition, scientists studying human genetics at the UK's Oxford University have concluded after more than a decade of DNA research that most modern Europeans are actually distant relatives. 97 % are descended from seven women who lived from 10,000 to 45,000 years ago. These seven ancient women consequently came to be known as Europe's "ancestral mothers."
此外，英國牛津大學人類遺傳學家經過十幾年的 DNA 研究，推論出現代歐洲人大多數都是遠親，97％都是繁衍自 1 萬年到 4 萬 5000 年前的 7 位女性，這 7 名遠古女性因而被稱為歐洲的「宗族母親」。
