The first phrase is correct: 'of two ancestors – a man and a woman, which involved a biological father and the birth giver mother.' The relative pronoun 'which' is used to refer to the whole phrase 'a man and a woman.' The second phrase is incorrect because 'who' is used for people, not for a group of people or a concept.
