Discovery channel other night: a group of geneticists studying mitochondria DNA statistically, claim their analysis showed that the human population was virtually wiped out (down to a few thousand individuals) some 16,000 years ago. Geologists have discovered evidence of a super volcano that erupted in the south pacific causing catastrophic climate change for several decades, which occurred – 16,000 years ago.

I did not say that we have not lost rights. Every time we cannot do something we had previously been at liberty to do, we lose a right, in some sense. I said our rights had not been trashed.

We have gained rights, too. For example, many people have the right to vote who did not originally. For another, the indigent have the right to an attorney appointed by the court. There is a universal right to schooling through the 12th grade, barring expulsion, which did not exist in the 19th century. Laws against miscegenation have been struck down, and therefore I have a right to marry outside my race (my sister- in- law is, in fact, African American). Blue laws have mostly been eliminated, and therefore I have the right to open a shop on Sunday. Restrictive covenants have been struck down, so now I have the right to live wherever I please (I am ethnically Jewish).

The picture is complex........

There are some scientists who submit that the tracing of mitochondrial DNA, which is only passed on by the female, has determined that all modern humans descended from a woman in Africa about 450,000 years ago.
