The world's population of living persons has gone to pot!

Counting Mother and Father Ancestors

Let's just see how many ancestors you must have when you and each one of them has a mother and a father. 


It doesn't matter if a mother died in childbirth as long as her baby survived and grew up to birth another live baby who likewise survived, grew up, and gave birth. It doesn't matter if the father died right after the baby was born under the same conditions. This study doesn't count siblings as ancestors, unless there was some incest involved, and that doesn't affect the results below.

You must have had a mother and father, so that's 2.

Each of them had a mother and father, so that makes 4 more. They now total 6 cumulatively.

Each of your grandparents had to have had a mother and father, and you have 4 of them so that makes 8 more, and so on.

It really works like this: each person, living or dead, has 2 people who were their mother and father.

Each generation back doubles that number, so in the 4 generations before you (not counting you) there had to be a total 2 times 2 times 2 time 2 mothers and fathers in that generation (which equals 16).

Using this simple arithmetic, it is easy to see that you have the blood of many people, direct ancestral mothers and fathers, in your veins, but how many depends upon how far back you want to look.

Let's go back to the year 1900 for an initial look. If the average span of time between generations were only 20 years (which would be rather short), and if you turned 20 as of your birthday in 2020, (assuming for the sake of simplicity that the date today is January 1, 2021, which I know it is not yet), that means you were born in 2000, and you parents were born in 1980, and so on for 4 more generations back in time like this--

Gen#     Relationship to you           Year born       # of Mothers and Fathers
0           You                                         2000        0 (we are not counting you)
1     Parents                                          1980        2
2     Grandparents                                 1960        4
3     Great Grandparents                        1940        8
4     Great Great Grandparents               1920      16
5     Great Great Great Grandparents     1900       32

The cumulative total number of only your mothers and fathers since 1900, 100 years before you were born, is 62 (2+4+8+16+32).

Let's see how many that makes going back 200 years. How many of your ancestral mothers and fathers are in each generation and could contributed to the cumulative total 200 years previously, or since 1820 (assumed 2020-200).

Your generation chart keeps going backwards from 1900 in generations and accumulates more ancestors.


Gen#     Relationship to you                                                 Year born  #in gen    Cumulative
6     Great Great Great Great Grandparents                               1880         64             126
7     Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents                      1860       128             254
8     Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents            1840       256             510
9     Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandparents   1820       512          1,022

Your 9th generation back had to have 512 mothers and fathers, i.e. 256 mothers and 256 fathers; and that made the total cumulative number of only your direct mother and father ancestors since 1820 be 1,022.

It doesn't stop there. You will see that by the year of their births in 1360 A.D., the required number of your direct mother and father ancestors exceeds the currently claimed estimated population of living persons in the entire world since the beginning of mankind, i.e. 7.7 billion now after 220,000 years of human history! (see the Wikipedia statement near the end)

In the table below, you can see that in 1340 A.D. your family had to have had more mothers and fathers in that single generation than all of living mankind now has since its beginning 220,000 years ago (at least according Wikipedia's estimate shown below).

Gen#   Year born       # in gen        Cumulative # of Ancestors   
10       1800                1,024                     2,046        
11       1780                2,048                     4,094        
12       1760                4,096                     8,190        
13       1740                8,192                   16,382    
14       1720              16,384                   32,766    
15       1700              32,768                   65,534    
16       1680              65,536                 131,070    
17       1660            131,072                 262,142    
18       1640            262,144                 524,286    
19       1620            524,288              1,048,574    
20       1600         1,048,576              2,097,150    
21       1580         2,097,152              4,194,302    
22       1560         4,194,304              8,388,606    
23       1540         8,388,608            16,777,214    
24       1520       16,777,216            33,554,430    
25       1500       33,554,432            67,108,862    
26       1480       67,108,864          134,217,726    
27       1460     134,217,728          268,435,454    
28       1440     268,435,456          536,870,910    
29       1420     536,870,912       1,073,741,822    
30       1400  1,073,741,824       2,147,483,646    
31       1380  2,147,483,648       4,294,967,294    
32       1360  4,294,967,296       8,589,934,590    
33       1340  8,589,934,592     17,179,869,182

That is 8 billion, 589 million, 934 thousand, 592 people, counting just mothers and fathers, in just your 33rd generation back, or you would not be here. And that happened in 1340 A.D.

If we keep counting back from there, by the year 1580 B.C., 3,580 years ago, your 179th generation's count of just mothers and fathers had to have been
    766,247,770,432,944,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Sorry, I can't say that number for you.    That is the number of mothers and fathers required in that one generation back in 1580 B.C. for you to even exist today. Me, too, so that makes it required that we double that amount to account for both of our ancestors, unless we are related as siblings, which we are not.

For the skeptics who want the average span between generations to be the human maximum of 45 years, which is ridiculous but if it were, the same number of mothers and fathers, 8,589,934,592, would have been required in your 43rd generation back, and that would have been in the year of their birth 40 A.D.

This is simple arithmetic; and any simpleton knows that everyone has to have had a mother and a father to be alive. Those are the only ones who are being counted here. Your siblings don't count as ancestors of yours. Duh!   

Now let's look at the Wikipedia reported world population of people currently alive:

Wikipedia says: "In demographics, the world population is the total number of humans currently living, and [it] was estimated to have reached 7.7 billion people as of November 2018.[1] It took over 200,000 years of human history for the world's population to reach 1 billion;[2] and only 200 years more to reach 7 billion.[3]" [That totals 220,000 years]

[1] "World Population Clock: 7.6 Billion People (2017) - Worldometers". www.worldometers.info. Retrieved 2018-05-13.
[2] "World Population to Hit Milestone With Birth of 7 Billionth Person". PBS NewsHour. Retrieved 11 February 2018.
[3] "World population hits 6 billion". 4 March 2004. Retrieved 11 February 2018.

That is the
currently estimated living population of the world. So each of those living persons has to have had the same number of mother and father ancestors as do we. If none of them are siblings, which is not true as some are, but if they were not, that would mean the number of mother and father ancestors in any generation would have to be multiplied by 7.7 billion.

I won't bother to do that, as the above number calculated for a single person's one generation in 1580 B.C. is already ridiculously large; and that was only 3,580 years ago, which is not even close to 220,000 years ago. (3,580/220,000 = 0.01627272727... which is only 1.627% of that period of time)

OK, so now what is your answer to this obvious truth?

Which man is Bill Blythe III's real father?

Bill Blythe III was the name given to the baby after his mother's traveling salesman husband died in a car accident before he was born. She had married him after getting pregnant with a baby by an undisclosed man who was not her husband (she didn't have one yet). After Bill Blythe Jr. died in the accident, his mother married William Jefferson Clinton, and Bill Blythe III changed his name in an Arkansas court to William Jefferson Clinton Jr.

These pictures show the man who died, Bill Blythe Jr. (first) and WJC, Jr. with the former governor of Arkansas, Winthrop Rockefeller (second below). Now you can decide which one was most likely his real father by blood.
