Where Does Your BLOODLINE Actually Lead?" — Feynman's Haunting Answer

Описание: What if everything you believe about ancestry is wrong?

You have two parents. Four grandparents. Eight great-grandparents. Simple—just keep doubling.
But go back only thirty generations and the math collapses. You’d need more than a billion ancestors—far more people than were alive at the time.

So what’s going on?

In this video, we uncover a deeply unsettling truth: your family tree is not a tree at all. When genealogy collides with mathematics, population theory, and physics, a haunting picture emerges—one that reshapes how we understand identity, inheritance, and what it means to be human.

Drawing on Richard Feynman’s reflections on atoms and existence and the groundbreaking work of Yale mathematician Joseph Chang, we explore concepts like pedigree collapse, the most recent common ancestor, and the astonishing idea that all living humans share the same ancient lineage.

This isn’t just about family history. It’s about how matter, time, and humanity are woven together—down to the level of a single atom.
