On the topic of a shared origin.
You do know where babies come from right ?
I come from my parents. Half of my genes from my father, half from my mother. It's more complicated than that but this is the simplified version.
My father's genes. Half from his father, half from his mother.
My mother's genes. Half from her father, half from her mother.
My cousins and I share one set of grandparents.
We have a shared origin.
If we go back many many generations, every person on this forum will have a great great great great ....grandparent in common.
We are all distantly related and this can be demonstrated genetically.
As an example of ancestry, every US president are distant cousins. President Obama and President Bush are 10th cousins, once removed, linked by Samuel Hinkley of Cape Cod, who died in 1662. He is also cousins to Presidents Ford, Johnson, Truman and James Madison.
He's linked to all of them but these are the ones we can historically show a link of lineage to.
We can also show the percentage of DNA that we have in common with great apes, with monkeys, with fish, with apples or any plant life.
We can create phylogenetic trees from several different disciplines in science that will independently confirm the same connection.

Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result
