1 in 200 men direct descendants of Genghis Khan

In 2003 a groundbreaking historical genetics paper reported results which indicated that a substantial proportion of men in the world are direct line descendants of Genghis Khan. By direct line, I mean that they carry Y chromosomes which seem to have come down from an individual who lived approximately 1,000 years ago. As Y chromosomes are only passed from father to son, that would mean that the Y is a record of one’s patrilineage. Genghis Khan died ~750 years ago, so assuming 25 years per generation, you get about 30 men between the present and that period. In more quantitative terms, ~10% of the men who reside within the borders of the Mongol Empire as it was at the death of Genghis Khan may carry his Y chromosome, and so ~0.5% of men in the world, about 16 million individuals alive today, do so. Since 2003 there have been other cases of “super-Y” lineages. For example the Manchu lineage and the Uí Néill lineage. The existence of these Y chromosomal lineages, which have burst upon the genetic landscape like explosive stars sweeping aside all other variation before them, indicates a periodic it “winner-take-all” dynamic in human genetics more reminiscent of hyper-polygynous mammals such as elephant seals. As we do not exhibit the sexual dimorphism which is the norm in such organisms, it goes to show the plasticity of outcome due to the flexibility of human cultural forms.
Jason Goldman of Thoughtful Animal reminded me of the 2003 paper a few days ago, so I thought it would be useful to review it again for new readers (as I know most of you have not been reading for 7 years!). To understand how one Y chromosomal lineage can have such a wide distribution across such a large proportion of the human race, here is a quote attributed to Genghis Khan:
You’re probably more familiar with the paraphrase in Conan the Barbarian.

I wonder if he had to strip the paint off the rifle before turning it back in to the armorer.
Germans didn’t get to turn things back in armories much. Mostly they died, got captured or stacked them in May 1945. Be a hell of a GI bringback, though!I wonder if he had to strip the paint off the rifle before turning it back in to the armorer.
I am pretty sure (positive) that is a M-1903 Springfield with a Warner & Swasey telescopic sight.
I do believe you are right!!! My bad!
They're going to push a motivated individual too far one of these days. The guy's last name is Ficken. Look up the German translation.

I don’t live in Colorado but I want an up armored D9, I promise to behave with it. ?
If you go triple digits, it will start back over a 01
Maybe Kaepernick should go to that country and protest.

Nice job however he needs to dump the WD40 and go with 50/50 ATF and Acetone
Do you think that’s actually licensed, or is it ricenced?
I love this one! Every time i see it, it makes me laugh. Plus, sadly, it would probably not be tolerated here in the states anymore.

Haha, no, I tested it.
I had a really fast bike and decided I wanted to get it over 100, It just flashed 99 and I was going over 100. I just hope they checked the data later.
The one by my house started over. Apparently I was only going 13 mph when I went by it. ?Haha, no, I tested it.
She does appear to meet most of my standards but I can’t get a really clear look with the cow in the way.
