[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 9037610, member: 1231"] Mathematically speaking the idea is that every single person with European ancestors alive today is descended from every single European from 1,000 years ago with descendants who are alive today. Or something like that. And that would go even more for time periods further back. Basically if any of those famous old people have [I]any[/I] descendants alive today , and you're European at all, you're one of them. I am sure it works basically the same for every other region of the world. Because if every ancestor in each tree was unique, every person would have something like 2^40 unique ancestors from 1,000 years ago. And yet there was only a tiny fraction of that many people alive. We are all Spartacus. [/QUOTE]
