Have Humans Come Close To Extinction?

Posted by timothy on from the closer-than-today-that-is dept.

waytoomuchcoffee writes "According to a new study, our virtually identical DNA indicates humans were close to extinction about 70,000 years ago. Another take on the same study tells how being lactose intolerant in adulthood was normal, and being able to digest lactose became a survival advantage after dairy farming was invented."

    Maybe I'll just stay in bed in the morning too and never say anything about anything again except maybe Firewall ACLs since that is the one thing out there that I can honestly say I know enough about to have an opinion on. Oh, and beer. And tits. And sports. Thats it, you've opened my eyes, thank you oh enlightened one. I'll never talk about anything ever again except beer, tits, sports and work.

    Mmmmm. Beer.
