Study: 'Eve' Came From East Africa

Researchers in Australia have accomplished the extremely difficult feat of extracting DNA from his skeleton and were astonished to find the sequence is unique, matching nothing seen before

Let me guess.
Early Australian man was a marsupial.(g)

I'm jealous.

We weren't exactly bosom buddies but developed an acqaintance over several years when he made several trips to lecture at the local university. I was a newspaper reporter with an interest in his field and interviewed him several times for news and feature pieces. I later carried on an interesting correspondence with him for a few years while he was with the Coryndon Museum in Nairobi.

"African Eve," the female ancestor of all humans, likely hailed from East Africa, according to a recent study... that means we are all african-americans and not a minority. This means affirmative action and quotas and hate crimes are illusions of privelege for a special interest. Probably some subset of the illuminati.

...Mungo Man has mtDNA that matches no one else....

Has Mungo Jerry's DNA been tested?

[DaGman]

"In 1995, a team led by Thorne began an attempt to extract genetic material from the remains. Gregory Adcock and his colleagues at CSIRO Plant Industry managed to replicate and sequence a single gene from Mungo Man's mitochondria."

"According to Easteal's evolutionary tree, the line that led to the most recent common ancestor of contemporary people, includes the ancient Australians but excludes Mungo Man.

"We can say with a high degree of confidence that modern people arrived in Australia before the new lineage [of the most recent common ancestor] arrived," Easteal says."

Hi there! I've been working doubletime lately and no time for pc, some time for a little while now though while I wait for some cultures to sprout....
The mitochondrial DNA theory is quite old and it by no means proves that we had one common ancestor or that if we did it originated in Africa. All it really proves is that mitochondrial DNA can be passed on ONLY through the female of our species and can't really be traced back to time or place because it only changes about 2% to 4% every million years. I would say that makes it pretty safe to assume that the real cradles of civilizations could quite possibly have been introduced in several places throughout the world at the same time long before modern man set a *standard by theory* because though it might be possible to trace human DNA back as far as one, even two, million years, modern evolutionists are more afraid of the truth than they are of the lies.
As for that particular study, I have one from UCLA that was done in 1980 where they analyzed the placentas from humans from the United States, Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia. They traced it back to at least 280,000 years and the rest was theory, THAT being that we had one common ancestor and it must have come from Africa, but why there and why then was never explained since Africa is the most unevolved continent on earth and is surely not the culture that brought us modern civilization but has remained literally in the throes of continental suicide for decades now.
And yet this is something that the ancient Hebrews and Indigenous population of this continent knew long before any DNA connections were even thought of.

Gen.6-"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of G-d saw that the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them for wives, whomsoever they chose."
Something different was most certainly introduced then to the daughters of men. Henceforth, throughout all the following generations, this new Mitochondrial DNA has always passed from the mother since the *sons of G-d* were long gone, our missing link.
But, of course, THAT is impossible, isn't it?

Blood is fine. Values are better.

One God. One morality for all mankind. Decency/goodness toward others. Deed over creed.

[Nix 2]

That's an Amen, roger and out.

...the female ancestor of all humans, likely hailed from East Africa, according to a recent study...

and if she looked anything like Halle Berry, I can understand why.
