"I'm kind of confused... how is it that "the bushmen" could carry every marker that anyone could have? "Please see the "Errata 2" video that I made to correct a few errors like these. I have re-edited the upcoming DVD to correct these errors. Sorry for the mistake.

cont...But, if the group doesn't migrate, then the markers that happen never leave the area. The bushmen have the largest amount of these unique markers which means they've been around the longest. It's a two fold proof. 1.) The lastest amount of unique markers and 2.) markers found through almost the entire world population.

It's not every marker... this is one of the rare times Potholer isn't very clear. This is how it works. Say the bushmen have a red marker... people move away and you get a yellow marker... then more move away and get a blue marker. So the 3rd group has red, yellow, AND blue, you can trace it backwards by finding the group of people with only Red and Yellow, and then only Red. The marker found in almost everyone on the plane is red, but the people with ONLY the red are the original people.

It is a just recent understanding on the female period that threw me off "age that girls can be prego." It was said on some discovery show that the age of teens being able to have a baby is from something about their body weight index. Now with this mentioned, do you think that people way back when were still able to conceive a child at that age including the obvious birth defects that come from kids having children.

It was bathing more than once a week. And public bathing was just sick in their eyes at that time. They believed that bathing every day such like eastern nations to be just sinful.

I'm kind of confused... how is it that "the bushmen" could carry every marker that anyone could have? What if a community moved away from them, and another marker showed up? Wouldn't that marker continue on with that group of people, but be entirely separate from "the bushmen?"

Venice was the first employ the quarantine measures to manage the plague, Nobody was allowed entrence into the city without being inspected at a facility on one of the chaining Islands, If one of the ships had a crew member with a fever the entire ship would be quarantined at the "Island" for a month or two.
