By analyzing DNA from people in all regions of the world, geneticist
Spencer Wells has concluded that all humans alive today are descended
from a single man who lived in Africa around 60,000 years ago.According to the multi-regional model, an archaic form of humans left
Africa between one and two million years ago, and modern humans
evolved from them independently and simultaneously in pockets of Africa,
Europe, and Asia.Wells’s work and that of others confirms the more widely accepted Out
of Africa model, which says that all modern humans evolved in Africa and
then left in several waves of migration, ultimately replacing any earlier
species.Full story here.

The biggest democracy relates to the population of the country.
Population of India 1,095,351,995 (July 2006 est.)

There is here too Becky. There’s an area in Barking called ”Gascoine Estate”. Frankly I wouldn’t go near it in daylight hours, much less after dark. The entire place has been handed over to Kosovans/AlbaniansRussians etc etc etc., None of them pay a red cent in charges, it’s paid by housing benefit, and then of course theres there benefits as well. They sub-let these places room by room, council say that they can’t catch them! it’s boIIocks! iv’e never seen so many ad’s in shop windows advertising rooms to let, all at between £60 and £75 per week. It’s hardly rocket science is it for the council to catch them at it.Iv’e nothing against immigration in general, if that is, they come here and get work and pay their way, but the vast majority of pple in the Barking area just don’t. The Kosovans/Albanians sit around in the cafe’s all day and no doubt discuss their earnings from their prostitution rackets. And that………………….at the end of the day……………is what really pisses me off! :evil:
It’s plain to see that the immigrants are housed in the worse places and
react according to the welcome they receive. I dread to think what kind
of welcome they received in this hell hole. :roll:24 September 2004
GANG ESTATE’S LAST POST
Royal Mail stops estate’s deliveries after brutal gang attacks on staff
By Clinton Manning And Nick Henegan
AN entire estate has had its mail delivery axed after vicious attacks on
postmen.The final straw came when 20 thugs battered one new postie so brutally
he ended up in hospital and is on sick leave.They also took keys to pillar boxes, his wallet and his phone.
Royal Mail chiefs say the boycott is to protect their staff.
A spokesman said: “It’s not something we do lightly but we cannot
expose our people to the threat of violence.”Yobs mug postmen for their keys so they can rifle through mail and steal
cash and credit cards.Around 20 post boxes were sealed up after keys were taken in the latest
attack.And a Royal Mail delivery manager wrote to thousands of estate
residents: “It is evident that mail cannot be delivered safely to this area.“We have therefore taken the decision to suspend deliveries… with
immediate effect until this matter is resolved.”The circular added: “I regret having to take this course of action.
“But I am sure you will appreciate we must do everything we can to
protect our staff from injury and distress.”People on the Gascoigne estate in Barking, Essex, must now go to a
sorting office with ID by 12.30pm daily to collect mail.Post Office bosses want talks with police and community representatives
before they lift the ban. But they were due to reopen local post boxes
today after changing the locks.Their circular arrived on estate doormats on Wednesday, two days after
the latest assault.The Royal Mail spokesman said: “The postman was kicked, punched,
knocked to the ground and left lying in the gutter.”A Communication Workers’ Union insider added: “We’ve had half a dozen
assaults on the estate over the past 12 months but this was particularly
nasty. As a new recruit he wouldn’t be eligible for sick pay but he’s on
special leave, which means he’s still being paid.”“He’s very shaken and won’t want to go back on that estate.
“We’ve suspended deliveries until we get assurances from the council and
police that they’ll offer our people proper protection.”But locals slammed the ban. John Webster, 53 – a resident for 20 years –
said: “I can understand where they are coming from but it’s a massive
inconvenience to everyone.“There will be thousands of people outside that sorting office. It will be
chaos.“And what about OAPs or disabled people who can’t get down there?”
Fellow resident Christine Walker, 24, added: “There’s a problem with a
minority of people on the estate, but the majority of innocent people are
being made victims here.”Police confirmed they were probing Monday’s attack and would hold talks
with Royal Mail bosses and union reps.Det Chief Insp Jamie Armstrong added: “We are concerned they have
suspended deliveries.“We are meeting with them to discuss the problem.”
Under Health and Safety guidelines, Royal Mail has a duty of care
affording protection to all of its employees and it is evident that mail
cannot be delivered safely to this area. We have therefore taken the
decision to suspend deliveries to the Gascoigne estate with immediate
effect.. this means until further notice you will be receiving NO
DELIVERED MAILS to your homes.@pikey wrote:
Are we wasting our time expecting liberal democracy to take root in cultures that do not share our fundamentally Christian roots? Perhaps it is like sowing seed onto sand. Or, are the twin concepts of liberty and democracy the inalienable rights of the whole of mankind and potentially universal?
True believers hand over their liberty to their scriptures.
