www.rte.ie/news/2008/1118/kangaroo.htmlKangaroo and human genes are similar Tuesday, 18 November 2008 Australia's kangaroos are genetically similar to humans and may have first evolved in China, Australian researchers have said. Scientists said they had for the first time mapped the genetic code of the Australian marsupials and found much of it was similar to the genome for humans, the government-backed Centre of Excellence for Kangaroo Genomics said. 'There are a few differences, we have a few more of this, a few less of that, but they are the same genes and a lot of them are in the same order,' centre Director Jenny Graves told reporters in Melbourne. 'We thought they'd be completely scrambled, but they're not. There is great chunks of the human genome which is sitting right there in the kangaroo genome,' Mr Graves said. Humans and kangaroos last shared an ancestor at least 150m years ago, the researchers found, while mice and humans diverged from one another only 70m years ago. Kangaroos first evolved in China, but migrated across the Americas to Australia and Antarctica, they said. 'Kangaroos are hugely informative about what we were like 150m years ago,' Graves said.

We are primates, period. The article is showing that the researchers were surprised at the level of genetic affinity between marsupials and us as they assumed it to be more distant then it was. Humans and kangaroos last shared an ancestor at least 150m years ago, the researchers found, while mice and humans diverged from one another only 70m years ago. In above statement it is clear that mice are far more genetically closer to us then kangaroos.

It still doesn't disprove the original theory that Serbs are from Krypton and Croats are from Zeta Minor the planet of evil. All others are merely homo sapiens.

I think these scientists are all screwed up ....
when in fact its just Australian serbs and greeks having sex w/the exchange of fluids for the last 50-60 years with the kangaroo species
;D
and ..No I dont eat kangaroo meat ...just in case you ask

If Serbs are Kryptonians then Bosniaks are Doomsday the monsta who killed Superman. And of course Albanians are Kryptonite.

Well Superman is from Krypton, so it was always quite plausible that Serbs could have also descended from the Kryptonians. It was therefore no surprise to hear this theory recently proven through advancements in genetics. You see Serbs were found to have the highest rates of midi-chlorines, almost identical levels to those found in Superman, and even higher levels than the Jedi knights who are the only other known sapiens to have them. When scientists looked at modern Serbian Supermen like Sasa Djordjevic, Pedja Stojakovic, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Novak Djokovic, Nemanja Vidic, Milos Krasic & others they were able to trace their ancestry back to the Serbian king & saint Stefan Dusan. Now Stefan Uros Dusan was known to be 7 foot tall. A man of gigantic proportions. Particularly for that time in history. An early super-Serb. Further investigations have linked Decani Monastery in Kosovo with it's mysterious UFO fresco paintings to a possible earlier arrival of the Kryptonians. Investigations are continuing...
