Jimbo, I recommend you read a book called "The Seven Daughters of Eve" by Bryan Sykes, 2001. This guy traced people in most of the northern hemisphere and a few places in the southern hemisphere to seven women in Africa. They didn't live at the same time.

The research is still ongoing. By using mitochondrial DNA, it was possible to see how different races of people migrated over time.

I don't mind being descended from Africans. They're fast, strong and I really like their brilliant white teeth. It really lights up a dark room.

just joking its fascinating is it not :-6

i will look it up it looks a good read :-6:-6

It is very interesting to read. I have the book and it is one that I've managed to read so far. The first part of the book goes into the research and the science. This part can be heavy going at times. The second part of the book attempts to depict the lives of the seven women in a story for each one. This includes some archeological finds to pep up the stories. It gives you an idea of the kind of imaginations these scientists have.

Oh, and I can assure you I wouldn't get Snow White confused with the seven dwarves. I only get the seven dwarves confused with each other.

I am a racist and proud of it

I hate white people! :yh_rotfl

No, people we all know, that when you remove the superficial stuff, humanity is all one and the same thing, we are one species, Homo Sapiens, from Australian Aboriginies, to Icelandic Fishermen, we are all the same, its a scientific fact.

Don't let the anti-science people, or the race haters (of whatever colour or creed) tell you anything different. Also, seriously whoever mentioned it, the Seven Daughters of Eve is an excellent book, I actually have it, I recommend it also. :-6

And here is more proof:

The oldest fossilized remains of a child ever found — more than 3 million years old — have been uncovered in Ethiopia, an international research team reports.

and more:

Ethiopia easily claims the longest archaeological record of any country in the world. It is in Ethiopia that the story of the evolution of mankind began. The remains of the earliest ancestral humans or hominids have been found there.

Oh look, and even more: Lucy: from Ethiopia:

A young Ethiopian woman named Lucy, whose 3.2 million-year old fossilized remains make her one of our oldest relatives, is coming to Seattle this fall. Lucy's Legacy; The hidden treasures of Ethiopia opens Oct 4 and runs to March 8, 2009, at the Pacific Science Center, featuring Lucy, the most complete fossil of any erect-walking human ancestor. Lucy, an adult female of about 25 years, was discovered in a maze of ravines in 1974 near Hadar in Ethiopia. She was named after the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, which was played during a celebration of her discovery. Her pelvis, upper leg bone and tibia show her to have been bipedal, or capable of walking on two limbs. Lucy was on the small side, about 107 centimeters tall and about 28 kilograms in weight.

DEEEEP FURTHER THOUGHT

So we're all related. Do we like our relations? Didn't Cain kill Abel? Maybe this thread should be amalgamated with Minks's contention that Happiness is a raised toilet seat.. via .. George Burns..

George Burns:

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.
