About nine months before I was born, my mom and dad got me started. I wouldn't have gotten anywhere without them. I am enjoying this existence they provided and I am very grateful to my mother for carrying me and nurturing me and even for sometimes disapproving of me. My mother had her own ideas and about 80% of them became my ideas and guided me well. My mother was of a different gender than I am. I can't blame her for sometimes seeing the world and the best path in life a bit differently than I have.
It only takes a quick thought and I am faced with the fact that my grandmother and grandfather launched that important woman, without whom I wouldn't be. So, thanks, Grandma, for carrying my mother and nurturing her.
I had two parents but four grandparents. I had 8 greatgrandparents and 16 people launched those 8. If you are at all numerically minded, you can see what is happening here.

Aug 22, 2012 - Even taking account of distant isolation and local inbreeding, the quoted figures are 100 or so generations in the past: a mere 3,000 years ago. And one can, of course, project this model into the future, too. The maths tells us that in 3,000 years someone alive today will be the common ancestor of all humanity.
