15 generations and I would probably be 50% Swedish and 50% Germane.
5000 generations and we all would be 99% African ( don't tell that to the nazis, they would flip ^^)

The other 1% being Neanderthal.

However, just to be a nitpicker, the Australopithecines were around some 3.5 million years ago. Supercontinents form and break up cyclically under pressure of plate techtonics. Pangaea is the name given to the most recent supercontinent, and it broke up beginning in the early-middle Jurassic era, about 175 million years ago. Africa didn't separate from South America and India however until the early Cretaceous era, about 25 million years later. It's safe to say nonetheless that the Australopithecines lived in Africa, and not in Pangaea or in Gondwana (the minor supercontinent formed by the breakup of northern Pangaea). 150 million years ago is considerably earlier than 3.5 million years ago. On a human or hominid scale of evolutionary time, Africa has always been in existence.

did they not recently find another ancestor that was 4.1 million years old? could've sworn I saw that on a nat geo magazine.

oh and look what I found!
