Interesting…
More recent research has come out with a different hypothesis for the relatively limited genetic diversity:

In essence, limited genetic variation is present today because of common but dispersed ancestry, which was “mixed” heavily.
I didn’t read all of the links or posts (damn limited time!!), but I wanted to direct you to this month’s National Geographic. It discusses this topic a bit, but mostly shows the limited diversity (through human genetic mutations and their appearance in certain groups) can prove the migration of humans.

Yes and they never solved lock ness. Reason: the reality is that no such animal exists either, but they keep that damm dinosaur alive with pictures sold at the Lock Ness tourist shop. And thats good for business. Look at Rozwell… same thing. Look at the Bible… same thing. Look at the “the strange death of Hitler” same thing. Look at Elvis… same thing. Look at the election of 2000… same thing. Look at UF0’s etc… you get the point.
The Ark on Ararat business has been going on for a while, I’m surprised they dredged it up again - no new content.
Concerning the other stuff, I have always had interest in the supernatural/unexplainable. While they haven’t been proven, they’ve not been disproven either. Not saying these things exist, but I like not knowing either way, for suspense’s sake…
What is Hitler’s “strange death?” (also, check out the movie Downfall if you get a chance - great flick).
