If humans have a common ancestry, then does this mean that we are related to each other?

Yes, we are. In fact, geneticists have tracked our mitochondrial DNA and discovered that every person alive today can trace their lineage back to a single woman living tens of thousands of years ago. They call her the mitochondrial Eve. Cool, eh?

Yes, but veeeery distantly. There is a theory that all humans existing now are descended from 7 women who lived thousands of years ago.

I may not be related to you directly but you know what they say, "We are only 6 degrees (people) away from each other!"

i guess so. if you look at the creation story, our first parents were Adam and Eve. and even if you look at the scientific side, we are still related because all of us came from the monkeys. hahaha!

Yes in fact it is but it goes much deeper than that but you are not spiritually evolved enough to understand that yet. You might be one of the lucky ones who "gets it" in this lifetime. Not too many people do I must say.

We are a " small species ", genetically, so we are closely related, compared to most species.
