Hitler May Have Had Black, Jewish, African Roots

superman vs hitler

Take it with a grain of salt because its from the Sun tabloid, but my guess is there’s probably some truth to this.

Tests on a DNA sample taken from one of his relatives show that the dictator could have had north African roots.

A journalist working for a magazine in Brussels managed to get hold of a sample from Alexander Stuart-Houston, 61, a grand-nephew of Hitler living in America, after picking up a serviette he had dropped.

    Self-loathing African Jew Hitler? Sounds suspiciously like the caricature of Barack Obama.

    Meh, genetic linkages all boil down to time. We’re all African if you go back far enough…

    Mitochondrial DNA can trace back to a single parent a long, long way . If Hitler’s great grandmother had a child with a man whose grandfather was Tunisian, those chromosomes could be carried forward all the way to him.

    I also heard something that went like this: The earth’s population is now double what it was in about 1500 AD. That means we are all related to someone who was alive in 1500. Therefore, between now and 500 years ago, we must have at least one common ancestor. Is that right?

    The Earth’s population in 1500 was about 450 million. The current population is about 7 billion.

    Sorry, Frank, leave science to scientists. Your guesses are really bad. The world’s population is double now what it was in 1960. I think even you can see that doesn’t mean everyone alive today must be related to someone who was alive in 1960.

    But thanks for showing us that you’re on Team Stupid.

    I’m related to someone who was alive in 1960, ;-)
