Yes, it has been checked.  Mitochondrial DNA mutates at a steady rate
from environmental damage, and has been used to determine (we think) the
patterns of ancient human migration and genealogy.  There was one
original mother in West Africa, from whom two other lines of African
descent sprung.  The second of those lines was the one that branched
(ultimately) into European, Asian, and New World subgroups.

This does mean, Fabrikant, that you are pretty much forced to accept the
notion that we are *all* niggers.

The Bible has several examples of holy, righteous men who engage in
incestuous relationships.

Possibly the "missing rib" is a metaphor for the shortened Y chromosome
in males, essentially an abbreviated X chromosome.  Possibly it is just
a story concocted by an ancient people who had knowledge of how to use
one plant's cuttings to grow a second, independent plant, and figured
that their deity must have used a similar method.
