Hadn't seen it. Thanks.
Interesting how advances today allow scientists to discover things like this on a genetic level.
2000-4000 years ago however, somehow tribal groups of people in what we now call the middle east, without the benefit of today's technology, knew and recorded that everyone on the earth was related. In fact they recorded actual genealogies first through verbal records, then written when possible.
Then at some point the writings that covered a few thousand years were collected into one record. The technology of recording history at the time was no more advanced than verbal and written records passed down through family lines.
But because of some stupid people in the past, who used the writings to commit some horrible injustices to other humans, our enlightened, technological mentality of today has deemed those written records as a "fairy tale". Interesting.

After watching it I see why the USA is sending all the jobs overseas.. Its not because the workforce labor is cheap.. They are sending them home..
So.... We are ALL made in Taiwan

If genetic history is our "made in" country, we're all made in Africa; it just so happens that the most-recent common assembly line has a relatively-high likelihood of having been a promiscuous unwashed dock worker in ancient Tiawan.
Plus some fun aftermarket bits added in Europe and Asia.
