    Okay, but it is as close to fact as possible. I can say the sun will come up tomorrow and it isnt a fact because it cannot be proven beyond all doubt. But it will happen, and we are all 50th cousins in the least.

    It is highly possible. I am just saying it isn't a fact.

    Btw, the sun won't come up. The earth will rotate which will allow us to see the sun again.

    It may not be a fact that we're all 50th cousins, or closer. Maybe there is some island tribe which diverged early, and hasn't interbred with outsiders for thousands of years. But most humans are probably closer than 50th cousins.

    Without pedigree collapse, a person's ancestor tree is a binary tree, formed by the person, the parents (2), the grandparents (4), great-grandparents (8), and so on. However, the number of individuals in such a tree grows exponentially and will eventually become impossibly high. For example, a single individual alive today would, over 30 generations going back to the High Middle Ages, have 2^{30} or roughly a billion ancestors, more than the total world population at the time.[2]

    This apparent paradox is explained by shared ancestors, referred to as pedigree collapse. Instead of consisting of all unique individuals, a tree may have multiple places occupied by a single individual. This typically happens when the parents of an ancestor are related to each other (sometimes unbeknownst to themselves).[3][4] For example, the offspring of two first cousins has at most only six great-grandparents instead of the normal eight. This reduction in the number of ancestors is pedigree collapse. It collapses the ancestor tree into a directed acyclic graph.

    [QUOTE]With 5% of individuals migrating out of their home town, 0.05%
    migrating out of their home country, and 95% of port users born in
    the country fromwhich the port emanates, the simulations produce
    a mean MRCA date of 1,415 BC and a mean IA date of 5,353 BC.
    Interestingly, the MRCAs are nearly always found in eastern Asia.
    This is due to the proximity of this region to both Eurasia and either
    the remote Pacific islands or the Americas, allowing the MRCA

    It's difficult to avoid you because you post multiple, horrible threads on the daily.

    I would be annoyed by any f*ckboy who does that, you aren't special sweetheart.

    The thought that I could be closer related to you lot than I previously thought makes me feel nauseous and quite frankly suicidal.
