It reminds me of the numbers that you get if you try to compute family trees. Figure, you've got two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, and so on. Go back just 2,000 years or so and you have more ancestors in that generation than the entire population of the world. Obviously, there was a lot of interbreeding in everyone's background.And a lot of it happens over much shorter time periods. The Prince of Wales is descended from Queen Victoria through both his father and his mother. Edward VIII and George VI were descended from George III (the mad one) through both their father and their mother. George V was descended from George II through both his father and his mother. |
