"You don't have to go back many generations to find that we're all related to each other."

Pwoof it.

They are simply wrong. All Europeans are not related.

I think I’m related to Attila the Hun. Not genetically, politically. BTT.

[Lurking Libertarian]

They are simply wrong. All Europeans are not related.

And your evidence for this assertion is?

I think I heard that there is more genetic variation among people in Africa than in all of the rest of the world, because it was a relatively small number, representing a small gene pool,that migrated out of Africa, and populated the rest of the world.

Rome had legions from turkey from there they invaded Germany Spain, then England with legions made up with men from all the countries they invaded ...

So Turkmen or Serbs or Hunic are releated to Picts?

I have my doubts.

[jjotto]

Obviously false headline.

My family goes back that far in recorded history and I find this to be unlikely.

Aren’t all humans related? Isn’t all life? Wait, where can one get the funding to propose this theory?

The Test of A True Born English Mans DNA is a Hatred of the FROGS. The Anti La Crapaud is an embedded gene in every person of English descent, my family name speaks of this.

Faulty conclusion stemming from faulty assumptions. Poor excuse for “science”.

Family researchers have long known that if you go back far enough, everyone with a European connection ends up being related to Charlemagne

The non-politically correct way to convey the same idea is to replace Charlemagne with Charles Martel. Can't write anything scare the muzzies you know.
