If Ghengis Khan isn't necessarily our biological ancestor, is he just our Steppe Father?
-
Oh wow! I have never expected to hear about Tatars from you! Hello from Tatarstan!

Thank you so much for this throughly researched video. As a Mongol myself, I always tell people about Chinggis Khan's remains never been found so it's too assumptive about he was the only culprit. Thousand s of years before him nomads followed pastures into Europe and Hungry migrated like pulse few hundred years apart. Plus the silk road contributed immensely to the dispersal of the DNA no doubt.

"Not the father!" Genghis Khan dances across the stage
-
So, are we all 78th cousins?

“And have never been found” side shot was like straight out of Goonies

As Genghis Khan's empire grew, his army became decreasingly Mongol in any ethnic sense Even in the early days it had been drawn from a confederation of Turco-Mongol tribes to which Uighurs, Kirghiz and others were gradually added. By the time the Khan died in 1227, Turkish warriors greatly outnumbered real Mongols whose role was now that of a leading élite.

When I had a friend tell me he was related to Genghis Khan and I remembered he was from a Mughal family from Pakistan and his family name happens to be the same as one of Genghis Khan’s official sons, I was like “well you certainly have the best chance of it.”

I'm just sitting here, shaking my head in amazement. Humanity and genetics are so dang cool.

World Politics: "As 'such and such' group, we're unique.' Human Biology: "Umm, not really."
