    Humans almost went extinct

    Pretty fascinating stuff. Apparently we almost were wiped off the face of the Earth by drought 70,000 years ago, and it's written in our DNA.

        I posted this elsewhere, and someone replied "actually, it was 2000 people left, and it was a FLOOD, not at drought. Do your research and it's also in the Bible."

        WOW.

            Our greatest achievement to date.

            I hear in 2010, we can look forward to 5 girls, 1 tub!

                That's not even close to being cool. Worst video ever!

                    Very, very interesting article, Kire... I have no idea how they found that the population was around 2,000 (as opposed to, say, 250,000 people with 2,000 common DNA ancestors), and I also have no idea how they could figure out it was a drought. The rest of it seems solid and was very cool to learn.

                    Something tells me they were joking, and I actually think it's pretty funny. Um...at least I really really HOPE they were joking. Can I see it in context?

                      Some people are so brainwashed by the church you could tell them God said the world was flat and they'd believe it.
