  1. Creating you, or anyone else, is the result of a long lineage of ancestors. If we look back 200 years, that's about 6-7 generations, depending on the average generation length (typically around 25-30 years). Here's a rough estimate: You (1 person) Parents (2 people) Grandparents (4 people) Great-grandparents (8 people) Great-great-grandparents (16 people) Great-great-great-grandparents (32 people) Great-great-great-great-grandparents (64 people) So, over the past 200 years, it took approximately 127 people to create you. This number grows exponentially as you go further back in time. Keep in mind that due to potential overlaps in family trees (like cousins marrying), the actual number might be slightly lower.
