"It's a mathematical certainty that that person existed," said Steve Olson, whose 2002 book "Mapping Human History" traces the history of the species since its origins in Africa more than 100,000 years ago.

With the help of a statistician, a computer scientist and a supercomputer, Olson has calculated just how interconnected the human family tree is. You would have to go back in time only 2,000 to 5,000 years -- and probably on the low side of that range -- to find somebody who could count every person alive today as a descendant. |
This has to be due to the amount of war and destruction on the planet. Since biblical time puts humanity at around 6,000 years old, and evolution puts humanity at near 100,000 years old, that entire civilizations were wiped out and bred into the existing cultures so that our common ancestor could have lived as early as 2,000 years ago. Of course, there were other people, but their lines would have to have died off. Very interesting find that I will study more about for sure.
