| 1161456 | 2010-12-15 00:45:00 | We are all related, via Africa. The dominant view among scientists concerning the origin of anatomically modern humans is the "Out of Africa" or recent African origin hypothesis,[5][6][7][8] which argues that Homo sapiens arose in Africa and migrated out of the continent around 50,000 to 100,000 years ago, replacing populations of Homo erectus in Asia and Homo neanderthalensis in Europe. Scientists supporting the alternative multiregional hypothesis argue that Homo sapiens evolved as geographically separate but interbreeding populations stemming from a worldwide migration of Homo erectus out of Africa nearly 2.5 million years ago. Ex Wicki. |

We could of course have all come from a single Paternal figure running around naked in the garden until one of his ribs magically turned into a maternal figure and so therefore we must all be committing incest since we would all have to come from the same set of ancestors Ex wicked people :devil |

| 1161461 | 2010-12-15 02:17:00 | I can remember my Mum drinking Mackeson Milk Stout (beeradvocate.com) for the same reason and we didn't live in the wops! They used to serve a bottle of Guinness a night in hospitals here to anyone who had lost a bit of blood during an operation. I remember Rawleighs Anti-pain oil for burns including sunburn. A little bag of blue normally used for washing clothes was good for bee stings. |
