A fascinating people; surely one can see that; and part of the world. And of course, a time in history. I do believe this, that God, and only God created ALL people and their origin. Everything else that follows, created by man, or caused by man is well, his/her doing alone; and only by the grace of God, have we lasted this long. As God knew it would be.
