According to scientists who have been studying the human genome, if you could line up your father and his father (your grandfather) and his father (your great grandfather) on and on in a long line going back in time through the generations, you would only have to line up about 3,000 people until we would get to a handful of people who lived in a small clan near what is now Ethiopia, to whom every person living on Earth right now is related. (Phew…that was a long sentence.)
3,000 people. Not many.
Anyhow…the deep thought – in about another 3,000 generations our children’s children’s children’s (etc.) child will be born who will finally be paying off our Bush era debt.
