Re: Please Unsubcribe... [meteorite-list] avoirdupois ?

Gregory, You do not strike me as someone that would drink his own bathwater....you are much too discriminating for that...maybe the bathwater of a "select" individual....Just kidding.   Genealogy and ancestry gives humans a line to trace heritage, kinship and a connection to the past. Maybe it is some deep rooted "need" that came from our earlier times when survival was a lot less guaranteed and having a past showed success of oneself and the ability of ones family to survive and create more successful individuals.   The most recent data I have seen shows in theory that ALL living modern humans can trace their existence back to no more than 5 individual females and no more that 30 individual males. The males are all from the tribe in Africa that uses the strange clicks to communicate in their language. In all I believe there are only a few hundred of them alive that possess the unique marker.   Genealogy is still cool. My wife is related to William Cody (Buffalo Bill). The Cody Family has almost every individual in their family tree traced and publishes a huge registry.   Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2003 5:09 PM Subject: Re: Please Unsubcribe... [meteorite-list] avoirdupois ? they are all related in their basic DNA. So it is possible at a very basic level that they are all related. OK, then if that's the case, isn't it rather pointless for any one person to specify ancestors, since everyone ELSE is related to them, too?   Or am I drinking my own bath water?   ;-)        Gregory
