I tried to ridicule the extrapolation of our present-day, 2-generations-max position within human race back to the roots. Here's a short list of the number of our forfathers and -mothers with 10% inbreeding/incest thrown in (probably too low anyhow): A B C D 2 2 70 2000 3 4 69 1930 4 7 68 1861 5 13 67 1793 6 25 66 1726 7 47 65 1660 8 89 64 1595 9 170 63 1531 10 323 62 1468 11 613 61 1406 12 1,165 60 1345 13 2,213 59 1285 14 4,205 58 1226 15 7,990 57 1168 16 15,181 56 1111 17 28,844 55 1055 18 54,804 54 1000 legend: A - generation, B - # of forepersons (like this expression) C - length (year) D - around year I could proceed further, but I can just say by Christmas time zero AC/BC everybody living on the planet of earth was my forebear.
