[joe-frank-list] Predator

[Sally]

I skimmed this, but it seems to be counter to common sense... for  
instance...

Here is a quote:
--
But don't stop there; keep going back. As the number of potential  
ancestors dwindles and the number of branches explodes there comes a  
time when every single person on Earth is an ancestor to all of us,  
except the ones who never had children or whose lines eventually died  
out.

And it wasn't all that long ago. When you walk through an exhibit of  
Ancient Egyptian art from the time of the pyramids, everything there  
was very likely created by one of your ancestors — every statue,  
every hieroglyph, every gold necklace. If there is a mummy lying in  
the center of the room, that person was almost certainly your  
ancestor, too.

--

Why aren't they taking the whole "dying out" factor more seriously?  
Who's to say the mummy in the center of the room even had children?!  
The plague in the middle ages DEVASTATED the european population.  
Think of all the dying lineages there. Just because someone lived at  
that time, doesn't mean they are your ancestor.
