From time to time this is brought up on the org. I'm bring it up again through this article I found which seems to lay it out simple.

Strange as this sounds, this is the outcome of a scientific search for the human migration using genetic markers. As genetic mutations were observed, the rarer of these were passed down from father to son (Y-chromosomal) and from mother to daughter (mtDNA). Tracing these back led to one tree for men and another for women. And the male line and female line do not converge. Though we are all descended from what is called Y-chromosomal Adam and mtDNA Eve, they did not live at the same time. I'm assuming the other lines just died out. The surprising conclusion? We are all related. We are genetically related.

Our common ancestors : Some 99% of the human genome is shuffled from one birth to the next. The Genographic Project traces the 1% of the genome which is not shuffled—mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) through the maternal line and the Y-chromosome through the paternal. These jokers in the pack allow geneticists to work back to our common ancestors. Our mtDNA appears to coalesce in a single woman, who lived on the African savannah 150,000 years ago. Our Y-chromosome survives from a single man, who lived in the Rift Valley of Kenya or Tanzania 59,000 years ago. So Adam and Eve did exist—90,000 years apart. The discrepancy is because, unlike the biblical Adam and Eve, this couple only represent the last common Ancestors we can trace genetically.

African Roots : Different populations carry distinct genetic markers. Following the markers through the generations reveals a genetic tree on which today’s many diverse branches can be followed backward to their common African root. The markers still present in our genes allow us to chart ancient human migrations from Africa across the continents. Through these markers, we can see living evidence of an ancient trek to populate the globe.

How Neanderthal are you? : Everyone living outside of Africa today has a small amount of Neanderthal in them, carried as a living relic of these ancient encounters. A team of scientists comparing the full genomes of the two species concluded that most Europeans and Asians have between 1 to 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Indigenous sub-Saharan Africans have no Neanderthal DNA because their ancestors did not migrate through Eurasia.

Thomas Jefferson was descended from the Middle East : Strange as this sounds, this can actual be proved from the genetic mutation his gene shows. You can read more about it here -http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/03/070328111115.htm

I'd just like to point out what I think a lot of people think when "Adam & Eve" not living in the same time period. I think they think Eve and Noah.

is this again the everyone is your cousin bullshit?

It really isn't complicated, but there are a lot of people railing against it even though there's more and more evidence coming out. Even the Chinese are consenting a little.

Hard to believe the population went down to only a couple of thousand people now there's billions. Resiliant little suckers.
