Mongolian Rape-Train: 16 Million Asians Direct Descendants Of Genghis Khan

"Warrior...and sex god."

Mongolian warlord Genghis Khan was notorious for his sexual as well as his territorial conquests. But the extent to which he captured women's hearts has now been revealed with research suggesting that he has 16 million Asian descendants.

...

...scientists discovered a cluster of closely related lines of Y-chromosomes, which are handed down from father to son.

The cluster led back to Mongolia about a thousand years ago.

Don't call him a rapist. He was a "Non-Consensual Sexual Enthusiast".

Seriously though, the 16 million number shouldn't be considered a big deal, right? Isn't just about everyone distantly related to someone famous if you look back far enough?

When I was a kid, a sorta-low-class woman in the neighborhood had a family tree done, and I remember her being so thrilled that she was descended from all these famous kings.

And I was like, "Yeah, it's great that Pepin the Short found time to knock up your great-grandma when she came over to de-louse his jerkin, but you've still got a stepdaughter who feeds her baby cat food because the welfare check went toward a new cam shaft for Randy's Camaro and a carton of Viceroys."

And geneology's left me a bit cold ever since.
