ributed something to that which you call Myself"
Mr. L. B. Lomersan, an expert, has prepared figures
showing how many ancestors each of would have
theoretically, going back hundred generations And
one hundred generations not many We could go back
thousand generations and still be within the limit Of
historys faint outline.
To write the number of direct ancestors that you
ought have representing you in hundred genera
tions you need thirty -one figures as follows:
1855, ,3o1, ,2OO, ,456, ass, ,8O2 993, ,4o8, ,410750
You will say "That is impossible" The population
of the earth is only fifteen hundred millions and that
is much greater than the population hundred
generations ago.
Quite true. But while multiplying ancestors
48-18 etc., gives fantastic figures 60 back we
also realize that going back to single couple and allow
ing for constant increase should get other figures
equally puzzing
