	FORTES- SOME REFLECTIONS ON ANCESTOR WORSHIP IN AFRICA
		The ancestors acknowledged in a given situation are primarily only those who are exclusive to the worshipping group and therefore distinguish that group unequivocally from collateral and co-ordinate groups of a like sort, who have remoter ascendants in common with them, and worship jointly with them in situations of common concern.
		Officiating in ancestor worship, as opposed to participating in group worship, is the prerogative of succession to the office or status of the class of ancestors to whom worship and offerings are given in a specific context of social structure and occasion.
		Ancestors are apt to be demanding, persecutory, and interfering for one reason because parents appear thus to their children when they are exercising authority over them, but also, in the wider sense, because this is a particularly effective way of representing the sovereignty or authority and right.

		However the idea of Ancestor Simulation and its time of inception was never envisaged a definite X number of years in the future, but more as an indeterminate age even up to millions of years hence.
		There are also those who point out that Ancestor Simulation in no way cheapens or distorts the value of any religious faith as it represents a world within a world, controlled by beings, themselves a part of the creative process and therefore subject to a Master Creator whose handiwork they are.
		Ancestor Simulation may even come to be one of the least interesting pursuits - one just for the crusted academics of the day.

	Scientists Recreate Genome of Ancient Human Ancestor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		To find out what those text changes were, Blanchette, Haussler, and their colleagues used a computer program to compare and contrast the known DNA sequences of 19 of the ancestor's living relatives, including species of pig, horse, cat, dog, bat, mouse, rabbit, gorilla, chimpanzee, and human.
		The results allowed the scientists to reconstruct a DNA sequence common to each species, including their common ancestor, thought to be the mother of most placental mammals.
		Scientists recreated part of the genome of a later species, known simply as the "boreoeutherian ancestor," which is thought to be the most recent common ancestor of all placental mammals.

	Adobe - Director TechNote : Using an ancestor's UI in a behavior (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Occasionally a behavior script can benefit from "inheriting" additional functionality from an "ancestor." A great advantage of behaviors is the capability to present a dialog box when the behavior is dragged to a sprite, which allows the author to set the initial values of properties.
		An ancestor's properties can be assigned in the dialog box that appears when a child behavior is dragged onto a sprite using the method described below.
		Because the properties that are assigned by using the parameter dialog box are stored in the score along with a sprite, the ancestor's properties need to be copied to the ancestor (this is a limitation of Director 6).
