Yes every human is related.

In fact **every living thing on the planet** is related.

If you go back far enough, you literally share a grandparent with your dog.

If you go back even further, you share a grandparent with your house plants.

You can search LUCA (the last universal common ancestor) for more info on this mind-blowing thought. It seems crazy at first, but unless life originated more than once, every living thing *must* be descended from a common ancestor way back. So yes we’re all related.
