ROTFL! Oh man. Gotta love the Bee.
I work in an office with 4 men and 6 women, in a town with a lot of tight streets and corners, and steep hills.
All 4 men’s vehicles lack body damage.
All 6 women’s vehicles have damage to the front passenger-side fender from hitting things, and 4 of them have damage to the rear bumper from backing into things.
Not sure what to say other than that.
Was she Asian also?
I don’t ride anywhere with my wife at the wheel.
Misogyny at its finest ... but funny ... a sexist would say
She may have been smoking stuff.
How do you define a woman? Are you a biologist?
I laughed.
I started reading the headline without seeing the source. I immediately knew the source though because the Onion isn’t that clever.
Your religious link (no sources) : research yields a more precise date of 37,000 to 49,000 years ago for the common ancestor of men.
What is surprising about Perry’s Y chromosome is that it did not descend from Y-chromosomal Adam’s. Or rather that the established “Adam” has lost his title to a new “Adam”, further back in time, where Perry’s branch split from the tree (see figure). While the former-Adam is estimated to have lived around 202,000 years ago, the revised one is thought to be about 338,000 years old.

What if, long after modern humans had become established and started to spread, they should meet and interbreed? Like all our other close relatives, these cousins eventually disappeared, but maybe they left traces, such as Perry’s Y chromosome, in the modern gene pool. This may sound shocking, but it would not be unprecedented. When modern humans spread from Africa to Eurasia, they met another cousin, the Neanderthals. Fossils with features from both species have long caused debate, and recently genetic evidence has suggested that today’s non-Africans owe 1 to 4% of their ancestry to such interbreeding, although no Y chromosomes have yet been identified. So, like many discoveries, Perry’s Y chromosome raises more questions than it answers.
