One of my C-Band educational channels had a series on the origin of man, specifically, "The Biological Adam". The researchers did a study of DNA found around the world in order to find the oldest DNA that is still human. Racial subtypes or sub-varieties if you will biologically share much of thier DNA and by doing so identify that subtype. The problem with much of this is that the human DNA 'family tree' is tangled at the top somewhat with all the intermingling that has gone on in the last few hundred years. Evidence from bones found in older burial sites yield purer DNA indicative of specific sub-types. From this came a template against which modern specimens of mixed ancestry could be classified. From here the search was to go backward to find points of departure in time and general location. Older DNA of this type should show greater inter-relations among subtypes especially near times when types first diverged. And so it was that as older DNA was found from more and more ancient burial sites, it was shared by more and more of the total population worldwide regardless of subtype. It turns out that from these DNA studies man as we know ourselves all descended from a group of less than a few thousand individuals who lived in Kenya about 60,000 years ago. These people were survivors of a very difficult time in the history of the species 'homo'. We had almost been wiped out! The biological Adam and Eve or Eva was among these survivors. Presently there is an ethnic group in Kenya whose DNA is similar to these survivors, and these DNA groups have been found to be shared by all people in all the world and of whatever 'race' by which they want to have themselves known. This will disconcert some folks to know that we are all family within 3000 generations or less no matter how we look. The studies further found that before the ancient global natural holocaust, our ancestors came from the 'Homo Robustus' line; and that we were and are probably unrelated to the 'Homo Neanderthalensis' people. These Robustii had migrated north from a 'homeland' in the area of the Transvaal in South Africa to Kenya where they whethered the trying times. >From this, we are really all Kenyans whether we like it or not. From Kenya, our line walked north and west and south, but only left Africa by way of the middle east. The westerners became the Tuareg and the modern and ancient Saharans that grazed the northern plains before they became a desert 6000 years ago. The pioneers out of Africa went to Iran and split, one path roughly following what later became the 'Silk Road' to Asia; and another turning north to Europe and Siberia. Bear in mind that our ancestors who left Africa were primitive peoples, and that none of us advanced much until about 13000 to 9000 years ago when cultures seemed to suddenly appear for no apparent reason. Adversity could not be the driving force as we had survived more adversity before. Some think that we were visited by foreigners from elsewhere who maybe educated some of us or we copied what we saw and passed this knowledge on in oral traditions and stone-age religions. There is a group out of Russia called 'The Followers' who believe this. If we read the various 'Bibles' found around the world, the older the better, as a kind of fractured 'history' and integrate what is found therein, maybe some light can be shown into the past this way of events in our species happening in this other interesting period from 13000 to 9000 years ago. Large cities in northwest India have been found offshore of Gujarat State and are estimated and correlated by the Rig Vedas to age about 12000 years ago. The Rig Vedas speak of visitors to our world as well. Not 'gods', but visitors. Standing Bear
