This just in...every single human is descended from early humans in Africa. Therefore, we are all African-American.
An additional fascinating piece of info is that we are all descended from one mother who lived about 150,000 years ago and one father who lived 60,000 years ago...mind-blowing stuff http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying/art...ticle.html . So, everyone is Obama's cousin.

Misstated facts to boot. The genetic markers actually imply a small, related group of women about 150,000 years ago and the same for males at the other point in time. It was articles in the popular, not scientific press that "exaggerated" the story to a single ancestor.
