Possible explanation for the lack of genetic diversity in Humanity:

Quote:

According to the Toba catastrophe theory, 70,000 to 75,000 years ago a supervolcanic event at Lake Toba, on Sumatra, reduced the world's human population to 10,000 or even a mere 1,000 breeding pairs, creating a bottleneck in human evolution

now how the hell does that work i wonder... i seriously cant get my head around the mathematical, logical path here that says its impossible??

I have no idea if that quote if accurate.

It's not impossible tho, if mountain Gorillas do not travel far and only breed within
their close social groups.

If Gorilla groups are more isolated from each other and for longer time periods than
humans, they are likely to have more distinct genetics from group to group.

Out of these three Irish, Brits and Scots which one has the best female redheads?

I would have to say the Irish, but she was American/Irish and strawberry blonde.

She sure was nice though ... :p

Then again she was only 17 ... I don't think hot redheads last forever.
