I think evidence of this is pretty weak. Firstly this is talking about hominids, a common and distant ape ancestor from which homosapiens emerged. We've known of hominids outside of Africa for a long time (50+ yrs?). At best you could say it suggest hominids emerged from Eurasia, but even then you're basing this off a lower jaw and some teeth.

I'm with you on this. After my dad retired he went around the bend on genealogy stuff. I think he just wanted to fill his time and also was looking for some kind of connection to add to his life, though he certainly didn't need one. He tried really hard to get me interested and I pretended to play along but I never really saw the point. He learned that we had family members who fought for both the Union and the Confederacy, and that we could trace one branch of our family line back to one of the first families of Virginia... but what relevance did that really have on my life? None. Nice little factoids to fill the brain, I guess, but otherwise meaningless.

The only reason I'd be interested in ancestry stuff these days is because I'm Italian-American on my mother's side with my grandfather being a direct immigrant so that might allow me to apply for jure sanguinis Italian citizenship. Getting all the genealogical and ancestral records would be a necessity to do so. Though if I recall correctly they've tightened up requirements for such citizenship lately so that may not be possible anymore.

I'd prefer to live in ignorance to enjoy my shitty imitations of random accents and cultural trappings on any given day by pretending they're my own.

The report indicates that I'm a Greek portrait of handsome xD. But I do agree with the percentages.
