Thanks for this fascinating write-up.<br /><br />This makes me think of something I've been confused about (I'm certain the confusion lies with me): It would seem that on a horizontal timeline, as one moves from left to right, one would see an expanding "V" as human population grows. On the other hand, picking out one individual in the present time, as one moves backward in time, there will also be an expanding "V" as the number of ancestors doubles each generation. What does it mean that it seems like at some time, the number of my ancestors would seem to be greater than the number of people alive on earth?Basil Stag Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05249972715160411934noreply@blogger.com
