Posted elsewhere but would like explained like I’m 5.
What I can’t get my head around is: I had 2 parents, they had 4 (in total) who would have had 8 in a geometric progression, so going back even 1000 years or 20 generations (assuming an average lifespan of 50 years) is 2,097,152 ancestors for just me, and given that there is a reported 7.9 billion people on earth alive today it seems mathematically impossible that all those people could have existed.

It’s almost like we’re all related and should treat strangers as though they are part of an extended family. 🤔
