Rejoice you descend from Angola MQ! DNA pinpoints origin of modern human migration in southwestern Africa, near the coastal border of Namibia and Angola, the BBC reports. Your ancestors raise from around the Cunene river south of here Cunene river divides Angola from Namibia The research pinpoints the origin of modern human migration in southwestern Africa, near the coastal border of Namibia and Angola, the BBC reports. DNA study in Africa locate origin of human migration A 10-year study involving over 3,000 DNA samples taken throughout Africa identifies a southwest corner of the continent as the origin of modern human migration, the BBC reports. The study, which appears in the journal Science also shows the continent to be the most genetically diverse place on Earth, the BBC says. An abstract of the study can be found here. The decade-long study involved an international team of scientists that went into some of the continent's most remote areas to get the DNA samples. The research pinpoints the origin of modern human migration in southwestern Africa, near the coastal border of Namibia and Angola, the BBC reports. This is based, the study shows, on a widely accepted theory that the highest level of genetic diversity is in the oldest population -- the one that has had the longest to evolve. The BBC says researchers also took samples from four African-American populations and traced their ancestry mostly to west Africa.

Mq, I see people going through foreclosure every day, on average 3 a day. I have yet to meet with one who did not get to where he/she is as the result of a series of personal choices and they all know it. They perceive themselves as people who have choices, who made choices, and choices have consequences, sometimes unforeseen. These are people who had the money and the other resources that gave them the ability to buy a house in the first place, but not just any house, a house that they never could have afforded if they hadn't gone into "creative" financing that backfired. I am not seeing people who are the victims of forces beyond their control. It reminds me a lot of the dot.com bust. They speculated, and they lost. No speculator expects to win every speculation, every time. Gamble big, win big, lose big. Gamble small, win small, lose small. I, and I suspect, you, never would have bought a house we could not afford, hoping that somehow we could flip it.
