In the past seven days, South Africa has never come closer to becoming a failed state. The riotous looting has reduced Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, the two provinces hit hard by the social unrest into what resembles warzones. The country quickly descended into what could be the beginning innings of a civil war, prompting the government to call up military reserves and seek deployment of up to 25,000 troops to quell the violence.

"It is a war zone . . . towns deserted, shops looted, bodies lying on the road," John Steenhuisen, leader of the main opposition Democratic Alliance, in the province, told Financial Times. "We have an internal African National Congress battle that has spilled over on to the streets of KwaZulu-Natal . . . the initiative has been completely lost by the security services. They need urgent reinforcement."

Sometimes it takes staring into the abyss to make people change.

"A haplogroup is a genetic population group of people who share a common ancestor on the patriline or the matriline." The mtDNA is along the matriline. The main sub-Saharan haplogroups are L0, L1, L2, and L3. Some say L0 is extinct, some combine it with L1, others keep them separate.

Through mutation, natural selection (positive and negative), the groups evolve. All non-African groups came from L3 through N, including H, V, and others common in Africa. M went east to give us G, Y and others including those in Native Americans.

Some say this makes the younger haplogroups more evolved. What you take from that is up to you.
