This is mind blowing

Incorrect. It assumes your ancestors never married someone related to them

Sounds like everyone descending from Noah and his family isn’t that crazy after all

Unfortunately this isn't reality for anyone. The family tree for all of us is pretty inbred when you head back in time. Europe is the least inbred, but most of the middle east practices cousin marriage. So it widens, then becomes pretty vertical for a while, then collapses back down to Noah

It doesn't work that way. There were fewer people alive as you go further back, not more.

We’re not “all related” at a few thousand years. Not even close. In reality, it’s likely a few hundred thousand years (at least).

Now show the Pakistani version 😂

Something in your pipeline is broken. Why is the visual concentration of ancestors getting reduced after the line while simultaneously the number of ancestors is doubling without the width of the graph more than doubling?

Pedigree Collapse. The product of cousins marrying has fewer and fewer ancestors, as the common ancestors take up multiple spots.

In reality it's not a tree it's a graph, as soon as you come back more than a few generations.

we don't have this many different ancestors, we share the same ones at some point, and many ancestors share the same ones we're just different combinations

It's also wrong because inbreeding.

Man discovers exponential relationship

Wrong. There's something called pedigree collapse, which means your ancestors, especially prior to industrialisation, were marrying their relatives, eg 2nd & 3rd cousins and so on

I’m so happy and proud to have notable people in my ancestry. It inspires me to try to be great, too.

sooo you wanna say that 33 generations is basically 8GB of RAM?

It's called pedigree collapse. Double your ancestors every generation and by 1036 you'd need 8.5 billion people, more than are alive today. The family tree has to fold back on itself. Go back far enough and we're all one family. Scripture said that a long time ago.

And God knows exactly what family he put you in ….

They have anatomically modern human skeletons that are 300,000 years old. People been making people for way longer than a few thousand years.

@orthute About 117 billion people have lived on this planet ever.

It’s much simpler as many couples had the same grandparents and more often the same grand grandparents

yOu maTtEr

it's a classic paradox

The tree of life has deep roots

So we're really all related 💀💀

That's a fallacy out there.

Show the #muslim version now.... Family tree would barely have 5 roots 😬😬😬

This assumes no incest

@Cultuurfilosoof Inbred and incest corrected?

Researching your lineage is so much fun

There has been a lot of fucking.

Also, you have to wonder how many of your ancestors birthed non biological babies. Who’s fathers were not yours.
