Aired 7/10/06 Extreme Genealogy
I mostly seek items that will get people to think about what is happening in the world. There is just so much horror in the world being raised because of racial and ethnic divisions. Then you come to realize that in reality all those racial differences are nothing, that everybody, yes everybody, comes from the same few million ancestors if you go back far enough. As typical I searched the discussion forums and there were a lot of comments in the 'that can't be right' category, many of them I suspect from closet bigots shocked at the idea of who really could be in their family tree. But suffice it to say that three University professer are probably a bit ahead of you in considering the possibilities. If you look at the real paper tedlab.mit.edu/~dr/Papers/Rohde-MRCA-two.pdf you will find that they have indeed thought of those objections.
