Researchers have calculated that the mystery person, from whom everyone alive today is directly descended, probably lived around 1,500 BC in eastern Asia.

That statement makes no sense. How were the Egyptians of 3000 BC related?

They probably aren’t alive today.

Yes, and it gets worse — the “researchers” are claiming that someone living in eastern Asia in 1500 BC is the common ancestor of everyone who met Columbus on the beach in 1492, and all those remote tribes in the Amazon who may not have been discovered to this day. Ridiculous.
