I can't resist, I've got to post this picture:



Have you noticed how much Barack Obama resembles his maternal grandfather? In this picture, the older man is white and the younger man is brown, and the young man has typically African frizzy hair, but otherwise they are so similar.

My colleague says that we are all Africans. He says that humanity arose in Africa, and then one group of African humans left Africa and spread across the rest of the globe. According to my colleague, almost each and every one of us are descendants of this group of Africans who left Africa. Those who can't trace their ancestry back to these African emigrants are several groups who remained in Africa. According to my colleague, the ethnic diversity in Africa is greater than the ethnic diversity in all of the rest of the world put together. In other words, people in Europe, India and China are more closely related to each other than people in various parts of Africa.

Sorry for going a bit off topic in this off topic thread, but I love that picture of Obama and his maternal grandparents.
