What is it about the thought of a common and recent African ancestor, that seems to bother you so much? O do not mean to speak for Pharmboy, but I do not think that the though itself is troublesome: it is the way the so-called scientists are going about it. Rather than a hypothesis, which the findings may reject, they seem to have an agenda of proving that which is already popular with the public. When you hear someone at this day and age saying "we are all the same under the skin," you know why he undertook this "research." One is curious how much of information that is contrary to the "findings" has been discarded to arrive the proper conclusion.

I agree in general with your assessment, and god knows there are numerous examples of similar shenanigans amongst todays academicians. The rush to acceptance by the popular media of controversial hypothesis such as this is always a dead giveaway of one theorem or anothers political appeal

Never the less I'd like to hear it from Pharmboy himself.
