"I would rather be descended from an ape than a bishop."

Whether or not someone acknowledges who their blood relatives are doesn't change who their blood relatives are.

No, but there is something very curious about someone claiming a tribe of amoral, remorseless animals as kin when there is no observable evidence that anything remotely like this sort of parenthood could exist.
