July 26, Most of them were your age in the second half of the s, just as the Enlightenment was getting going in Europe. Finally, look closely at that top section and notice that you can actually see distinct tiny people in there—and realize that if you pluck just one of them from there, you would not exist today. Come on. That puts you at 68 billion ancestors around AD. With a concept called pedigree collapse , which is what happens when people end up with a mate who is somewhat or very closely related to them.
So for example, if two cousins had a child, that child would only have six great-grandparents, not eight. The reason for this is that for most of human history, people spent most of their lives in the same five mile radius, and the other people in that same area tended to be immediate and extended family. So that group of 4, people above? Because of pedigree collapse, if you extended your family tree way, way back, it would begin to get smaller , resulting in a diamond shape:.
The widest point of the Ancestor Cone happens for most of us around AD , when our family tree is near the total world population at the time. From that point on, pedigree collapse becomes a stronger factor than the normal upward x2 multiplier, and the tree converges inwards. The simplest way to think about it is that every stranger in the world is a cousin of yours, and the only question is how distant a cousin they are.
The degree of cousin first, second, etc. For first cousins, you only have to go back two generations to hit your common grandparents. For second cousins, you have to go back three generations to your common great-grandparents. Since a lot of people get confused about cousin definitions, I made a little chart illustrating what a second cousin is.
So notice that for you and your second cousin, A your parent is a first cousin of their parent, B you have grandparents that are siblings, and C their parents are your common great-grandparents. For third cousins, everything just goes up a level—your parents are second cousins, your grandparents are first cousins, your great-grandparents are siblings, and you have a common pair of great-great-grandparents. A straight second, third, or fourth cousin must be on your same generation level.
The number of cousins you have grows exponentially as the degree of distance goes up. You may have a small number of first cousins, but you likely have hundreds of third cousins, thousands of fifth cousins, and over a million eighth cousins.
Because I got a little obsessed with this concept while doing this post, I decided to roll up the nerd sleeves and figured out a formula for this:.
