Question

Now that DNA shows Africa as birthplace of humanity...Am I now an African American?

Answer 1

to one of the answerers (hehe): yes, there is evidence in DNA of this..there is more genetic variation within africans than say between asians and australians. so people had to originate from there. something like that. i learnt it in biology last semester.

and to the questioner, your logic makes everyone living in North/South america an african american TECHNICALLY. i never thought of it that way hehe! but in general..no you aren't.

Answer 2

When did they find out that DNA shows Africa the birthplace of humanity?

Answer 3

Good one.

Answer 4
