Sandy sent the Moderators a goodbye note and stopped posting a couple of weeks ago. She intended to check her PM mailbox for a while. Max simply stopped posting last fall.LOL.... I don't know why but I find this soooo funny. God, where is Sandy??? BF and where the hell has BaronMax been?
"Mitochondrial Eve." She's all over SciForums. We're all descended from a single female ancestor. Technically we're not all brothers, but we're all cousins.How could we all be related?
Surely Khan. He had (literally) an army bringing them to him.I wonder who had more women, Wilt Chamberlain or Genghis Khan?
I presume that you know what a first cousin is. I presume you know what a secound cousin is. Is their any problem extending cousinship to 3rd and 4th cousins?How could we all be related?
2^33 = 8 billion, more people than there are on the planet. If every couple had only two children, we'd all be only 33rd cousins.I believe that the majority of people alive today are my 50th cousin or closer in relationship to me. It is just a matter of knowing math, and knowing about how often and far people moved from their birthplace in the past.
This was from a blog linked to Ancestry.com
Barbara Pierce Bush (Dubya's Mom), is the 8th Great Granddaughters of Robert Lovering, born 06 Sept 1620 in Boston, Massachusetts. Robert Lovering is the 4th Great Grandson of Margaret De Clare, who was born 1281 in Thomond, Connaught, Clare, Ireland. Margaret De Clare is also the 8th Great Grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II.
Margaret De Clare is a direct originator of a bloodline that includes George W. Bush, and Queen Elizabeth II.
Bush Jr is a direct descendant of "THE" Prophet Mohammad HahahahaaaHaaaa AAAhhhaaaaa Pffff..... OMG this is just soooo funny
Haaahahahaaaaa haaa Haaaa haaa Haaaa
This is the best thread I've seen in YEARS - I LOVE IT

On the other hand, 33 generations is only 800 years, even at modern generational rates. Mitochondrial Eve lived 140,000 years ago so our cousins have been intermarrying for a long time.
Allan Wilson's naming Mitochondrial Eve[4] after Eve of the Genesis creation story has led to some misunderstandings among the general public. A common misconception is that Mitochondrial Eve was the only living human female of her time — she was not. Had she been the only living female of her time, humanity would most likely have become extinct due to an extreme population bottleneck.
How can a person be related to a myth, one could say i am related to jesus also a prophet, or one could say neither prophet existed, how do you trace a bloodline to a corpse that does not exist?
I have no doubt bush is related to the royal family, that can be traced, but this other crap is just that crap, a insignificant person trying to grab a few headlines with rubbish, most of the entire population can be traced back to africa, not the middle east, if you have a different idea of the origins of mankind maybe you should present it.
As the Queen does not where a burka or carry bombs in her handbag i dont see her link to the middle east, no woman descendant of mohammed would ever be queen anywhere, a womans place is in a burka & in the kitchen in islam, last time i saw the Queen she was doing neither.
As far as I know, we are all humans, right? :bugeye:How could we all be related?
How is it nonsense? It is perfectly logical. Care to explain?What a load of nonsense.
I wasn't going to say anything since he was responding to my own post. Moderators have to have thick skins and not complain when we're insulted.How is it nonsense? It is perfectly logical. Care to explain?
