It's simple math. Every person has two parents, four grandparents and eight great-grandparents. Keep doubling back through the generations — 16, 32, 64, 128 — and within a few hundred years you have thousands of ancestors. Perhaps the math is too simple. It implies that that parents came equally distributed from around the world. It is more likely that there were a lot of cousins having offspring in little villages around the world. A person might have less than eight great-grandparents. TP
