#15  Wow! That means that that I could take my time machine, visit a random village in 3000 BC and kill a random person, and I wouldn't exist.

badgerbanger. Wow! You must have spent time with a dictionary cobbling together that missive. Such a display of razor-like wit I can't recall ever seeing.

#11  Minime , Your perseverance & difficulty with the english language is gratifying and even inspiring considering your condition, but not really relevent in this case. If you wish to speak to me about the genetics, molecular biology or bioinformatics relevent to this article I'm listening. Otherwise your pitiful whimperings are irrelevant, tedious, and getting repetitive and laughable.

#9 porksbadger. Oh, was that a pun? So hard to tell, do keep trying. I know all about conception, your understanding seems challenged.

I'm not sure if you are trying to insult me or not, as usual the gibberish that flows from your fingers to the keyboard is incomprehensible.

HAND, treacle for brains.

#9  Puns are acceptable in english! but not in spanish? monkey manolo boy?
or did mummy and daddy not talk about such things as conception, or are we well meaning but have learning difficulties or language problems? or perhaps too many digits?

#8  "An idiot with a pen but no conception of genetics or evolution.

Ignore."


An idiot with a computer and Internet access but no concept of the language.

Ignore? Indeed!

#6  The final words of this article are "the tight web of brotherhood we all share". Let's feel good everybody -- we're all brothers! Lay down your arms. Beat your swords into plowshares. Go give Kofi and Osama a good hug.

#5  What a putz. By his logic - all animals on the planet share common ancestors too. It's just simple math.

#4  And the annual Darwin awards, not even counting the population of moonbats, doesn't convince you that the gene pool is rather shallow?

#3  Why, of course, this proves every european has an arab or an african ancestor, so he has no complaining to do about his long-lost relatives coming in by the hundred of thousands to visit him (permanently) each and every year.
See?
It could even be said, given that Europe is old and childless, that we're kinda old folks occupying a nice house that has become too big for us, and that it is only right that our younger relatives (remember, we're all part of the smae big extended family) comes in and live with us, while we wither away.

I remember reading such things in vulgarization history mags when I was a teen, like every present french person is a descendent of Clovis or Charlemagne, or related to a branch of french royalty. I even posted an article here about 80% IIRC of white present day britons directly descending from a single prehistoric community.

I mean, this is probably true in essence, but this is pure nonsense anyway, as uncle Gromgoryu wisely puts it. This whole kind of "races don't exist", "there's no identity", "we're all one big family", etc, etc, stuff really bugs me. I'm sorry, I have roots, I know who I am, I have an identity, and no supercomputer study is going to convince me otherwise, and I'm almost completely certain is would be even truer for 110% of people outside of the multiculti West. Remember, we're the only ones actively trying to erase ourselves out of existence and occuped with hating ourselves.

#2  actually, the mideast proves it's not the roots, but lack of branches, on the olde family tree that causes a lot of problems. Shouldn't look for a marriage partner at the family reunion
