So I got way into DNA a while ago and had a whole work up and found out some great stuff. And something hit me like brick; here’s something for a philosophical point of reflection: as you sit here reading this, you are now concentrating on the fact that your ancestors survived the greatest cataclysms in human history, the whole thing: great wars, pestilence, geographical upsurges of all kinds, and your ancestors managed to snake their way through all that for a long enough period of time to be able to pass the torch of that seed -all the way –up-to-you! We’re survivors. More than that, we’re lucky enough in this day and age to have a complete tracing that tells that entire story. Not just genealogy, but all of the works of the world are available to let us know exactly what happened, when, and how we made it. All the way up to the way we think.
I find that amazing.
