There are a lot of ants too TJ. They are even more successful. Successful is as successful does. <he has 17+ million direct gene carriers wandering around the world today a very successful man with emphasis on VERY > Being successful until now is not the same as being successful in future. Tyrannosaurus Rex was a highly successful top of the line predator during the era when such "thinking" was the way to go. But fast, furry, funny, fun-loving, foot-loose and free mammals took over when times moved on. Some of Genghis's DNA is no doubt useful and I know of one instance where it was incorporated [the father, the donor of the Y chromosome, killing himself, or being killed [I forget which], as unfit for the modern world]. Interestingly, the child's name is Tarken, named after Tarken-san, who is named after Tarkan, a Turkish mythical figure who fought the Genghis Khan hordes back in the day, who has a namesake Tarkan in 3D life whose ancestors fought against Tarken-san's ancestors at Gallipoli, and won in the short run, though the Ottoman Empire was overthrown and the middle east was carved up, leading to today. I am hoping to incorporate some of said Khan DNA in my direct lineage, but that is for the future. Little Tarken asked Tarken-san, "How come you have got my name?" He has got a lot to learn about the world. That's a long story, going back many centuries into the mists of time. He is a very bright little boy and will be able to understand it all. It is not as simple as your thinking which suggests a 12th century Mongol horde can now wander unhindered around the world, resurrecting some glorious past. Your racist thinking about kin loyalty is antithetical to the modern world and will go the way of Tyrannosaurus Rex. To the extent that Genghis had useful DNA, it will continue to percolate around the world. But he has only 17 million descendants versus 6 billion others. It's only 30,000 years since the father of all non-Africans spread his seed so successfully. He was the father of 5 billion [give or take a few]. It's 100,000 years since the mother of us all started the lineage. Genghis has so far been vastly less successful than them. Give it another 30,000 years, and I doubt that Genghis will be the father of many at all. His "thinking" is already out of date - hack and kill the way to victory and the ladies' loins if not their hearts. But there must have been more to him than that, because over subsequent generations, the ladies could have rejected his descendants, but have not. Let's see how he does in cyberspace and synergistic symbiosis. Mqurice
