Research by geneticists and archaeologists has allowed them to trace the origins of modern homo sapiens back to a single group of people who managed to cross from the Horn of Africa and into Arabia. From there they went on to colonise the rest of the world.

Genetic analysis of modern day human populations in Europe, Asia, Australia, North America and South America have revealed that they are all descended from these common ancestors.

Since this gene is passed from mother to daughter it is consistent record. Umbilical cords were collected from all ehtnic groups. Europeans, Siberians, Chinese, Eskimos, Native American in North and South American.

Which one knocks on the front door & explains that no, they don't need any sugar, but....

RACE might be appropriate when discussing NASCAR but it is meaningless when trying to define people!

Amen.

"“I think we should all be happy with that, as afterall, it means that people from all over the world are not all that different from each other.” "

Huh? That's not what the article says at ALL. People in Africa are very different from all other people in the world. Everyone else has a common group an ancestors. Africans do not. I believe there are 5 different major ethic types in Africa. One is somewhat related to other humans, the other four are much more different, genetically speaking.

Africans are amateurs when it comes to killing each other. If you count WWI, the Spanish Civil War, Hitler’s pogrom, WWII, Stalin’s purges, and the war that’s still going in the former Yugoslavia, how many dead do you come up with in the last 100 yrs? I’d have to guess 40-50 million anyway.

That’s a quote from the end of the article.
