"Do the Math & Get Over It"
- Your Generations and Related Ancestors is the Whole Earth -
“Ignoring the possibility of other inter-relationships (even distant ones) among ancestors, an individual has a total of 2046 ancestors up to the 10th generation, 1024 of which are 10th generation ancestors. With the same assumption, any given person has over a billion 30th generation ancestors (who lived roughly 1000 years ago) and this theoretical number increases past the estimated total population of the world in around AD 1000. (All of these ancestors will have contributed to one’s autosomal DNA: this excludes Y-chromosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA.”

And before you brag about the talent or courage you share with some illustrious kinsman, remember that the exponential mathematics of relatedness successively halves the number of genes shared by relatives with every link separating them. You share only 3 percent of your genes with your second cousin, and the same proportion with your great-great-greatgrandmother. http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/articles/media/2007.06.08_thenewrepublic.pdf
Moreover, with dozens of generations separating all those princes and counts, a long-hidden adulterous liaison could have severed the Y-chromosome-and-surname links. The father’s name may be missing from a birth or marriage certificate. (Bastard children) The youngest child recorded in a family may in fact be a grandchild. Illegitimacy in itself does not create any particular records. Illegitimate birth was concealed just a generation or two ago. Another type of illegitimacy that is very difficult to prove is when a married woman has a child by a man other than her husband. There are descendants via noble but illegitimate lines. Illegitimate ancestors can be found in the personal and World Tree. One famous scion is Sir Richard de Cornwall, of indisputable but illegitimate descent of of Richard of England, 1st Earl of Cornwall and King of the Romans. Numerous lines from the many illegitimate children of Charles II exist to this day. http://www.europeanheraldry.org/united-kingdom/families/families-s-z/families-illegitimate-royal-descent-various/ Members of untitled families today may be descended from illegitimate children of royalty. Since illegitimate children of royalty were seldom permitted to marry into other royal families (because their status made them unacceptable), these children tended to marry upper-class or middle-class families from their own country. Another reason for the greater number of descendants from chronologically distant monarchs is that likelihood of descent from a monarch increases as a function of the length of time between the monarch's death and the birth of the particular descendant. Thus, it is theoretically true that "statistically, most of the inhabitants of Western Europe are probably descended from William the Conqueror; they are equally likely to be descended from the man who groomed his charger.

A number of leading proponents of Darwinian evolution claim that "junk DNA"—the non-protein-coding DNA that makes up more than 95% of our genome—provides decisive evidence for Darwin's theory and against intelligent design, since an intelligent designer would not have littered our genome with so much garbage. In The Myth of Junk DNA, biologist Jonathan Wells exposes their claim as an anti-scientific myth that ignores the evidence, relies on illegitimate theological speculations, and impedes biomedical research. Far from consisting mainly of junk, the genome is increasingly revealing itself to be a multidimensional, integrated system in which non-protein-coding DNA performs a wide variety of essential biological functions. If anything, the genome actually provides evidence for intelligent design, not against it. After reading this book, your view of the genome—and of the people who claim to represent science while they misrepresent the evidence—will never be the same again.
