    While this shows that man, in a genetic sense, are virtually identical, I think it's bold to say it shows proof where the origin of man was located.

    The only factual statement is that mankind developed from the single point of space that was the universe before the Big Bang.

    And we're not even sure of that.

    Well if I understand this correctly it's not just demonstrating that we are all closely genetically related (which was already known) it's that by tracking the distribution of various genetic markers it is possible to work out the genetic tree which then allows you to say which populations split off from which.

    I have always told you people that I may be white in my skin but I'm black in my soul.
