If you believe the so called evolution scientists everyone should have "ticked" Africa as their family heritage.
I am Soviet Union Born as are all relatives on both sides and they have always lived in the Soviet Union even way before the 2 unsuccessful invasions of Russia by the criminal germanic knights in the 1200's.
