Estimates range as low as 10,000 total humans on the planet.<BR/><BR/>That would mean that when you look around you and see Blacks, Caucasions, Asians, and all of the sub-groups of each, that it has happened in a very short time in geological terms.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the links.John Evohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868904051881865159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-14555024900030092622007-12-11T22:12:00.000-06:002007-12-11T22:12:00.000-06:00True.

Their ancestors migrated here before the domestication of cattle, so they had no immunity to smallpox when they encountered Europeans and Africans from the late 15th century onwards.Tommykeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751182125861177379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-7127642731336169222007-12-11T13:04:00.000-06:002007-12-11T13:04:00.000-06:00Overall I would suspect that there aren't enough i...Overall I would suspect that there aren't enough interracial marriages within the average population group to have a major influence on the development of the entire group.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933545393470431585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-78974017676373755222007-12-11T12:56:00.000-06:002007-12-11T12:56:00.000-06:00Growing apart?
