While this charting is bogus, there's a germ of truth: all humans are related to all other humans, if you go back far enough. Mathematically, tracing back 'n' generations, you have '2^n' ancestors. Let's say that the total number of human beings who've ever lived is roughly 10 billion [1^10], and that one generation equals 20 years. Punch the calculator and you'll see that 2^33= 0.86^10 and 2^34= 1.72^10 -- thus, somewhere between 33 and 34 generations (660-680 years) back, you've most likely shared an ancestor with every other human on the planet. This math obviously breaks down when we consider population isolates, small groups that have had NO contact with other humans for a longer period. But in general, especially with mainstream Eurasian populations, we can safely say that EVERYONE who reproduced over 1000 years ago is an ancestor of yours, and EVERYONE now alive is your cousin. Now, if you're the kind of guy who goes to family reunions to pick up chicks, this ain't no big thang, eh? DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
