DNA secret revealed

We're all equal, it's simply true, that is science
James Watsondiscovered DNA structure  (born April 6, 1928) along with his partner Francis Crick in 1953.
The nobel prize winning (1962) American molecular biologist, is also known for his critical remark, in which he has said that Africans are less intelligent.
"We're not all equal, 
it's simply not true,
that isn't science." he said.

He was suspended over racial remarks.
Watson was embroiled in an extraordinary row. 
He retired as chancellor of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory near New York City, for which he was Chancellor for continuous 39 years.

What an irony; in his own DNA genetic test in December 2007, it was found that 16 of his genes are likely to have come from a black ancestor; while in European community such gene is found not more than 1 in number. 
It means something like as if his great grand father was African.
DNA model by Watson

Vian Joseph from Louisiana is a black American.
He has written articles in famous magazine News Week, on the problems of blacks.
He believed that he is 70% African and 30% some other race
due to hybridization of generations of his mother and father.
But when he got his DNA genetic test done for ethnicity, he was told that he is 57% Indo-European, 39% American Indian and 41% East Asian.
He did not had African blood at all.

These are the example that our own phenotype is not our right identification.
If we are identified on the basis of generations of our mother and father
and if we go back in time some 200,000 years ago,
then almost all scientist believe that 
the whole human community is a member of one family.

Modern human (Homo sapiens) originated in African continent
and their ancestors are still there, 
as South African San and Vianca pygmy of Central Africa.
We are their direct descendants, 
who are still there living gracefully....!!
