Hundreds of millions of Asian men alive today could be descendents of just 11 dynastic leaders who lived up to 4,000 years ago, according to researchers at the University of Leicester in the UK.
The study, published in the European Journal of Human Genetics, looked at the Y-chromosome - the chromosome passed from father to son - in around 5,300 Asian men from more than a hundred different ethnic groups and nationalities.
Most Y-chromosome types are extremely rare and so the prevalence of common Y-chromosome types amongst those they found in the Asian men they tested suggests hundreds of millions of people alive today were descended from just a handful of common ancestors, according to the researchers.

Ultimately we’re all descendants from just two people.
Who are the Asian women descended from?
The Y chromosome accurately indicates who your father was, but only for men.
It’s not so much that Genghis Khan directly impregnated a huge number of women, but rather that his sons and grandsons were themselves high-rank men who impregnated a lot of women.
Adam and Eve were Chinese! [french horns]
Four thousand years ago was long before the Khan.
LOL.
(Good one!)

Revenge is a dish best served with a side of rice and lentils. Wait, that’s not it...
Easy to tell the women, check their remains for worms in the ears.

Human populations are tightly interwoven

[snip] Researchers have calculated that the mystery person, from whom everyone alive today is directly descended, probably lived around 1,500 BC in eastern Asia. [/snip]

A planet of bastards.
All Chinese women are direct descendants of Harem Girls.
The emperor who has a hundred sons but has them all kill each other like the Turks did competing for the caliphate doesn’t spread the DNA.
These dynastic guys clearly made sure a number of sons were chiefs, mayors, some such local leader where he was a local alpha male and thus had lots of sons, too.
These stories always sound very Biblical.
“Researchers have calculated that the mystery person, from whom everyone alive today is directly descended, probably lived around 1,500 BC in eastern Asia.”
Isn’t this essentially what the Creationists are saying?
Nope, but superficially analogous.
