    Hi Kathryn,

    amazing article thanks so much for the work and grace poured into it.

    I do have a question though: in terms of direct ancestors, and there being an estimated 12000 human generations (by mainstream archeology's angle) 2n=x doesn't really work: it is just an obscene number. Perhaps ancestors are more of a bell curve? There being 2 that squares up to a few million and then square roots down again to 2? Super baffled, curious and grateful for being able to ask the question,

    Dave
