We all have pure blood, you know--human blood! Every human on the planet is descended from a group of about 30,000 or so from Africa who survived a major extinction event roughly 100,000 years ago.

@evilscotsmin It took thousands of years. This genetic marker is passed down through the male line. It is found in all male !Kung people .It is found in every area of the world but not in all people, only some people have it but having it relates that person to the !Kung people. Blacks born in England are either descendants from slavery times or immigrants. The indigenous people of Britain were wiped out years ago. The Celts were originally from the Alps.

@mmedefarge not saying its wrong ill have to read the study myself ...but one genetic marker in everybody how does that point to just one peoples..the kungs what if that genetic marker was pasts on to the kungs and not from them and weres the history of the kungs leaving and populating and why would one type of race make so many other types of races ....black people born in england are still black ... regaurdless were there born there would be no white no asian just one race

@keenoled Have you seen Terry Jones: Medieval lives? Because that's another great one of his!

The Genographic project is not proof beyond a doubt.It is a theory,the same as the Out of Africa theory.A few thousand blood tests do not = world population nor does it cover 120,000 yrs of world history.Granted it is a good theory but it has flaws and accepting it as scientific law isn't wise.We still have alot to learn.
