This guy got around ... 16 million descendants!

Genghis Khan: prolific lover as well as fighter and the father of a good many of us!

The average person who lived in 1200 AD would have about 800 descendants by now, this guy has 16,000,000. He was discovered through DNA testing but who was he?

I just had to compare it to something. The population in florida is roughly 19.5 million people. This guy has enough descendants to almost fully populate the state. That's crazy. Ho can someone who has so many descendants not be known. Wonder if I'm related to him. LOL

16 million descendants, that's crazy. This makes me want to get my DNA tested so I can find out more about my own descendants.

I'm guessing he had very little entertainment and was really good with the ladies. This guy obviously got to work. If I'm not related to him, someone I know is bound to be. 16 million descendants... He could form his own state... let that sink in.

It doesn't seem possible but it's horrific to imagine how it all actually happened.

Oh my god that's insane. To put it into perspective, his descendants alone would be able to match the population of North Carolina almost twice over. That's crazy lol.
