Yale Statistician claims everyone with European Ancestor related to
English Royalty.
A Yale Statistician, Dr. Joseph Chang, claims that everyone with a
European ancestor is related to English Royalty, each having a common
ancestor who lived about 1400 A.D.
And that the most recent common ancestor of all six billion people on
earth today probably lived about the time of Christ.
Apparently it's mathematically certain, but where's the common sense?
Can you believe it?
Can anyone explain the math in grassroots English? What's the
probability that everyone reading this will believe it?
Comments invited.
"The idea that virtually anyone with a European ancestor descends from
English royalty seems bizarre, but it accords perfectly with some recent
research done by Joseph Chang, a statistician at Yale University. The
mathematics of our ancestry is exceedingly complex, because the number
of our ancestors increases exponentially, not linearly. These numbers
are manageable in the first few generations?two parents, four
grandparents, eight great-grandparents, sixteen
great-great-grandparents?but they quickly spiral out of control. Go back
forty generations, or about a thousand years, and each of us
theoretically has more than a trillion direct ancestors?a figure that
far exceeds the total number of human beings who have ever lived...

 

heh! No.

 

I can get back as far as some John Thomas too.
