The first sentence of a National Geographic article entitled "Documentary Redraws Humans' Family Tree" reads thus: "By analyzing DNA from people in all regions of the world, geneticist Spencer Wells has concluded that all humans alive today are descended from a single man who lived in Africa around 60,000 years ago."

Question: how could anyone be descended from him if he was single?

;p
lol, note the ";p". I just found the article's wording to be amusing.

China Doll Nightmare asked:


I have always been interested in taking an ancestry test. I know that they can usually trace back the maternal lineage. Well, here's my problem. My mother's side of the family is Irish and German, a heritage that's not particularly interesting in my opinion. However, my father's side is much more interesting: French and Romanian Gypsy. My father's grandmother was a full-blooded Gypsy. I know that they originate from India and crossed much of the Eurasian continent over 1,000 years ago. It would be so incredible if I share similar DNA to Indians. However, can this be done?
