Can you imagine being related to George W. Bush?
By analyzing DNA from people in all regions of the world, geneticist Spencer Wells has concluded that all humans alive today are descended from a single man who lived in Africa around 60,000 years ago.

According to the multi-regional model, an archaic form of humans left Africa between one and two million years ago, and modern humans evolved from them independently and simultaneously in pockets of Africa, Europe, and Asia.

12. They've obviously not examined his DNA.
He's the genetic descendant of aliens using the Earth as a rest stop - a turd with legs.
