If your family tree kept going on and on and on it would eventually include everyone in the world in it. does that mean were all related to each other. and if so, how can someone be a full blooded italian if somewhere down the line they are related to a hispanic or an albanian?

It depends how you look at it -- religiously or techniquely. But I would say maybe -- a good portion of a single nationality are related in some way -- do to the fact that nations were so low in population and many families had incestual relations. However because of the growth in population over the last few hundred years and how so many countries have tons of other nationalities mixing it up it would be hard to trace everyone back to the same roots.

This is a difficult question to answer. If you trace your family tree it will only take you back so far to your actual blood relatives. However, and this is where it gets tricky. If you believe in God than the answer has to be yes. We all had to come from someplace and so on and so one. So if God created man and women and they multiplied and continued to do so than yes, in a way we are all related. But your family tree will never take you back that far.

There are two theories about the origin of man: A single source or a multiple sources.
If there is a single source, we would all be descendant from it. Hence related to each other.
If there are multiple sources, the we would be the descendants from one source.
That is the physical answer.
Are we related in other ways?

Unfortunately, yes we are. Doesn't seem that beautiful people should be related to bigots, liars, cheats, scumbags, classists, racists and haters, huh?
At least we can say we're only related by "blood"; all the rest is elementary---we don't have to think like our bigoted brothers and sisters.

Well, yes, according to the Bible. According to evolutionists, all living things are related. To some extent, anyways.

yes if one goes back far enough we are all related. since we are all humans and every ethnic group can procreate with another no matter whether one is black, white, red, or yellow. to many this indicates a common denominator.

yes, we are all an extended family genetically speaking of course. in addition to genetic codes, there is also mitochondrial dna evidence that the human race as it is currently constituted, was from a single source known as 'mitochondrial eve'...interesting stuff...

Yes, if you go back far enough, we are all related. Some people actually believe that they are related to apes. I know that I'm not.

Christians believe that they are, but since I personally am NOT a Christian, then... No. But a very interesting question.
