The family trees of all of us, of whatever origin or trait, must meet and merge into one genetic tree of all humanity by the time they have spread into our ancestries for about 50 generations.

About This Quote

The family trees of all of us, of whatever origin or trait, must meet and merge into one genetic tree of all humanity by the time they have spread into our ancestries for about 50 generations. The family tree of all humanity is like a board game where players are trying to complete their particular set of tiles. The tiles are individual people with traits that can be passed on from one generation to the next. These traits are things like skin color, eye color, hair type, preferred food, etc.

If these traits diverge too much from each other, then the two sets of genes will never meet up. This will keep them from merging into a single set of genes that all humanity will share.
