Sorry, Trick, I couldn't let that one slide.
Anyway, although I don't know how far this thread can go (I expect a short lifespan simply due to lack of inert momentum), I will say that there are those scientists who believe all of mankind originated from one single female... Somewhat related, perhaps, to this topic of conversation.

He's quite right.
Here, i've got proof. Not to be too trying to be overtly religious but....
Genesis 2:10-14
A river flows out of Eden to water the garden and from there it divides and becomes four branches. The name of the first is PIshon; it is the one that flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; and the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that flows around the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
So if you're going by Jewish tradition, Eden was situated in the southern part of the middle east, near Sumeria, the first advanced civilization on earth (pretty much)
