    Due to an odd quirk of genetics and some unique evolutionary circumstances, two humans who lived at different times in the distant past managed to pass on a very small fraction of their genomes to you. And to me. To all of us.

    Fascinating. Considering that our "common male ancestor" would have had more opportunities, biologically speaking, to pass on his genetic material than our common female ancestor, who perhaps could have had as many as 15 children or so versus the male who may have been that "productive" every year of his adult life, her story is more impressive to me. Thank you for your service, super grandmom.

    Wait wait wait, X & Y do recombination during the process of creating gametes, it's a very narrow region, but it does happen. This is also why sometimes we'll get a mistake and have the SRY on an X chromosome which leads to a biological male, although chromosomes will look like a female.
    Ideally, however, you want the bulk of the X chromosome and the Y chromosome to NOT recombine. But for genetic variation, you definitely want that safe region to experience recombination, and obviously mutations over time that lead to improvements in survival.

      There is an iPhone app published by ancestry.com called We Relate which sends you the names of people who they detect you are related to through published family trees (including yours, which you have to fill out). So far I've been told I relate to over 400 people ranging from presidents and kings to famous criminals. My own researches validate at least my own side of perhaps half of the list; Beyonce is one of them. Sorry about you. :)

      @bou path so *that* is illegal but two people who are blind, deaf, or have some other disability they know will be passed on are still allowed to have offspring?

      In a perfect world yes, but sadly it's in human nature to constantly bicker and fight over just about anything.

    Every person on Earth is related to every other person- living or dead. So it's really almost 8 billion people we are each related to.
