We are all Taiwanese

Trapped by the tropical storm, it's blogging day. Erick Heroux pointed me to this article from AP on human origins...

Whoever it was probably lived a few thousand years ago, somewhere in East Asia — Taiwan, Malaysia and Siberia all are likely locations. He — or she — did nothing more remarkable than be born, live, have children and die.

Yet this was the ancestor of every person now living on Earth — the last person in history whose family tree branches out to touch all 6.5 billion people on the planet today.

Definitely way cool....
