I Am Mother Earth

It is official, we are all, deep down, the sons and daughters of Africa. More exciting stuff at the bottom. From Discovery News:

DNA Confirms We’re Out of Africa

A new genetic analysis of people from around the world added further confirmation to the African origin of humans.

Scientists have long believed that modern humans first developed in Africa and spread from there to populate the rest of the world, a theory strongly supported by the new analysis, the researchers said.

In addition, they noted that residents of the Middle East can trace their ancestry to both Africa and Europe, which they said is logical since the region formed a bridge for movement back and forth between the areas.

The italicized bit in the passage is even more interesting than the confirmation that we are all Africans. It means that I am Africa, and Europe, and Asia –all wrapped up in a petite package called Tololy.

Why?

Because my father is Arab, and as such he is Middle Eastern and by extension European and African, and my mother is Circassian and as such is Eurasian. The final product of this human mix of geography is me.

You can call me Mother Earth now.
