We are all African?

I agree that mankind could very easily be millions of years old, and that the current humans could be just 250 000 years old. It might have been that there have been 100 of these 250 000 year human lines, and that would only put us back to 25 million years ago. But I feel that although we did not evolve from rats, we have common roots, with rats, birds, snakes, toads, fish, plants, insects, and single cell organisms. We all share a common protein, which seems to suggest we're related.

Please, gentlmen, let us not circumvent censors. We should not forget that there are children, ladies, and those who simply don't want to see the filth, but want to see what your opinion is.
Please, not simply because of some board rule that you can break, but because it is not nice to the other members.

With love and harmony,
Thomas Crowne

Why not a rat? it does not make us less worthy if our ancestors were rats. It does not matter at all.
