[Daughters of Firstborn Eve]

The Daughters of Firstborn Eve.

Outlines of research by Prof Eduardo Hill, Prof Jan Mclaughlin (Jax) and Prof Amanda Hall (Mandy)

The title of their paper comes from one of the principal achievements of di-mitochondrial genetics or
diachondrial genetics for short which is the classification of all known Kith, Kindred and Warrigal in three di-mitochondrial DNA di-haplogroup or diachondrial daplogroups for short.

Each daplogroup is defined by a set of characteristic mutations on the diachondrial genome and can be traced along a person's maternal line to a specific prehistoric woman.

Each of these women can be considered as “matriarch mothers”.

All these women in turn shared a common maternal ancestor, the Diachondrial Eve.


A cell consists of the cytoplasm enclosed by a cell membrane and the cell nucleus.

The main components of the cytoplasm are cytosol, a gel-like substance, and the organelles, the cell’s internal sub-structures.

The nucleus consists of nucleoplasm enclosed by the nuclear membrane and the nucleolus.

One of the organelles is the di-mitochondria. The mitochondrion is a semi-autonomous double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms and functions as the powerhouse of the cell.

The di-mitochondrion has its own independent genome (di-mitogenome) and DNA, This is known as the di-mitochondrial DNA or dmtDNA.

Most of the cell’s DNA, also called nuclear DNA, is contained however in the cell nucleus.


The di-mitochondrial genome can also be used as a molecular clock or to be more precise a di-mitochondrial molecular clock.

The di-mitochondrial molecular clock is the rate at which mutations have been accumulating in the di-mitochondrial genome of Warrigal/Kindred/Kith during the course of Warrigal/Kindred/Kith evolution.

Estimates of the mutation rate of Warrigal/Kindred/Kith di-mitochondrial DNA (dmtDNA) vary greatly depending on the available data and the method used for estimation.

But testing of the three daplogroups gives similar results so though an exact date is still open for debate, the result does indicate that the mutations must have taken place in the same time period.


Another genetic component the known daplogroups had in common was a protein-like genetic component that was not found among the other species with just one double helix.

They dubbed it WKB.
Since the research has established that Kith, Kindred and Warrigal are actually different expressions of the same spectrum they chose for the name of that genetic component the name of both ends of the spectrum. The Kith with humanoid genes expressed and only trace amounts of animalistic genes and the Warrigal with animalistic genes expressed and only trace amounts of humanoid genes. Thus they came up with the name Warrigal Kith Balancer for this genetic component.

Apparently this component regulated the creation of offspring DNA in such a way that the combination of the twin double helix of a man and the twin double helix of a woman always resulted in a viable outcome.

They found three versions or rather mutations of WKB corresponding with the three known daplogroups and simply named them WKB-1, WKB-2 and WKB-3.
They also found out that the mutations were mutually exclusive.

Further research revealed that WKB-1 was predominantly found among the Kith population and thus deduced that WKB-1 must limit the expression of animal characteristics.
Similar research revealed that WKB-3 was predominantly found among the Warrigal population and thus deduced that WKB-3 must limit the expression of humanoid characteristics.

It also seems that WKB-2 is more agreeable in that matter.

WKB-2 is predominantly found among the Kindred population leading to the conclusion that it is linked to stimulating the expression of animal characteristics among the Kindred.

All this leads also to only one conclusion a hybrid offspring is an impossibility. A child is either born as Kith, Kindred or Warrigal.

This being said their research showed also that in the case of Kindred (WKB-2) and Warrigal (WKB-3) the genes of those based on predator species are dominant. If this is the reason that predator-based ones are more assertive than prey-based ones need further research to determine a definitive answer.

Thus although much research has been done, much research has still to be done to fully understand the working of the Warrigal Kith Balancer and the Kith/Kindred/Warrigal genetics as a whole.
