If it isn't, then that is one troubled individual!

That was very interesting. The beauty of science is not what we know, it's what we don't know. A really engaging talk.

How to state your own ignorance in 5 easy paragraphs. Well done!

Not only that first lot of incest, but approx. 4000 years ago, there was a flood and Noah and his family had to kick start off the human race again. Makes you wonder how we have a gene pool at all, although on saying that, in the years following the great flood you can experience what life was...
