Mitochondrial Eve is the idea that all of the human's mitochondria came from one women. The reason for this is that the mitochondria is only passed down from the mother. The human race can have such diversity because we are so widely spread out. Each place where humans live provides different dominant traits to be present. These differences in dominant traits are acquired after a long period of time in one place. The Mitochondrial Eve is a person that contains all the traits blended together. She is very average and therefore each different demographic can shape the race in different ways.
