I heard of that before. Actually, I went to a lecture a few months ago. It's very interesting. I've got powerpoint slides (printed out) and all sorts of things that were passed out at the lecture. They even handed out little samples of sand from Africa. I forgot why they did that.
I have lots of information to share, but I'm at home now. When I get to school later on and have time after homework, I'll post some information. But yeah.. I was very impressed with the lecture and a lot of it confirmed what I've kinda known all along.
Apparently the DNA spreads out from Africa and even those who you'd think have no African lineage can actually have a few chromosomes that prove otherwise. I wonder what happens when this kind of information hits the ears and eyes of those supremacist groups. I'd like them to try to prove otherwise... with science.

I would consider it but its so expensive and it might not be accurate.

I'm sure they'd do a number of tests to try for accuracey.

Yes, but there still is the question of their original assumptions and if they are reporting all the relevant data. I don't know tons about genes and stuff, but I get a little nervous when people are conducting research that their pay check depends on. I do find it kind of funny how over time science and religion come into alignment.

The religion thing?
Just because I figure truth is truth. The bible has been saying we all descended form one guy (Adam or Noah) for a long time. I find it interesting that science and religion take the world on from different approaches and come closer together in their views over time. I don’t know for sure what got people going back and looking up the real meaning of the word “day” in Genesis, but it is more like phase or time period. The steps are in a similar order to those science indicates.
