Lady Thatcher is related to Atilla the Hun, Vlad the Impaler, Hitler and Pol Pot - but not Idi Amin

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to mattrodstrum for his thought-provoking (if somewhat ethically unsound) response to which I would like to reply as follows: Margaret Thatcher has always been a fierce opponent of immigration (1) and also supported the apartheid regime in South Africa. Furthermore, her daughter Carole was sacked from her job as a TV presenter after she called a black tennis player a "golliwog" (2) and her son Mark is currently on the run from secret agents from Equatorial Guinea after having been convicted of trying to overthrow the regime there (3). None of this suggests a latent family empathy with people from Africa to me! Additionally, Thatcher is blonde and fair skinned which would indicate that none of her female ancestors were abducted by villainous Negroid buccaneers and even if that were the case and that ancestor of hers became the wife of an African pirate it seems unlikely that she would then be able to escape with her half-caste children and somehow return to the sleepy English countryside where Thatcher's other ancestors come from. Certainly, I have examined her family tree (4) and can see no mention of a Mrs. Thatcher-Bananabwana or a Mrs. Thatcher-Mambofandango! Now, to address the issue of the common ancestor of all humans and the elusive "Adam". Please review the taxonomical classification of chimpanzees, Neanderthal man, Idi Amin and Margaret Thatcher reproduced hereunder. You will note that Neanderthal man, Idi Amin and Margaret Thatcher are considered the same type of animal as chimps all the way down the table as far as subtribus. From there Amin and Thatcher are considered the same type as animal as Neaderthal man as far as genus. However, at this point they go their separate evolutionary ways with Idi Amin being classed as a member of the Capoid subspecies (the hominids that stayed in Africa) whereas Margaret Thatcher is a Caucasoid (the hominids that left Africa). The point of all this is that Margaret Thatcher may share much her evolutionary history with Idi Amin, and they may even have had a common ancestor who may or may not have been called Adam. However, this common ancestor would have been at the subtribus level when Homo sapiens evolved from their ape-like predecessors and first became adapted to life on the ground rather than the trees. (5) So if these proto-humans should be considered relations of both Thatcher and Idi Amin, as my opponent suggests, then so could chimpanzees. However, even though many people would describe Margaret Thatcher as "inhuman", I don't think that they would expect her to send Christmas cards to her extended family in London zoo! Finally, I should just like to point out that my opponent's report of Thatcher's demise is premature – she is still alive and kicking – although she wouldn't be if I had taken my chance and stabbed her with a cheese knife at the private party we were both guests at when she was still Prime Minister! Thank you.
