  • thanks for the help =_=

  • This video doesnt prove anything, they need to do extensive tests and create an average.

    How would they even be able to detect they were related? By this logic they would only half compete with their cousins.

  • They always remember their roots.

  • GOD BLESS YOU

  • nothing happened
