Christians, and particularly creationists, have been saying this for centuries. (Genesis 11) It is not a startling discovery.

As you know, evolutionists - many of whom are Christians - put the common ancestors far further back in time than Young Earth Creationists - not all of whom are Christians.

Saying that we're all related to an Chinese ancestor that lived 100,000 years ago?

Amen, seems like that pesky little bible knows everything

Acts 17:26

And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;"

Christians, and particularly creationists, have been saying this for centuries.
(Genesis 11) It is not a startling discovery.

Paul tried to explain this concept to the brainiacs of Athens, but like today's molecular
biologists (with exceptions like Collins of the Human Genome Project), they just don't
have low tolerance for even letting others hold ideas about unseen things.
This reminds me of a famed astronomer/space scientist (Janklow?) who said (something like)
that the longer he studied the cosmos, he was beginning to believe that as
he cleared the last crest of the last hill in his career...he'd meet some philosophers
priests and monks who already had all the answers.
(and I guess the good graces to ask him "What took you so long?")

ACTS 17
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens,
I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription,
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven
and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he
giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the
face of the earth,
and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him,
and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own
poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
