How many descendants of Genghis Khan are there?

There are about170,000 direct descendants of Genghis Khan.

It is estimated that about 654.38+07 million people in the world are direct descendants of Genghis Khan, accounting for about 0.5% of the global population, even including the British royal family. In 2004, Oxford Ancestor Genetic Testing Company launched a service called "Y-Clan", which was specially used to identify the descendants of Genghis Khan. The price was 180.

Seven centuries have passed since Genghis Khan's time. Oxford Ancestor Genetic Testing Company has no DNA sample of Genghis Khan. Is the test result accurate? Professor Sikes said the accuracy of the test was credible. In the past ten years, they analyzed the DNA of countless male residents living in the former "Mongolian Empire". A large number of Asian men have the same Y chromosome, and this Y chromosome originated from a person who lived in the early13rd century.

Genghis Khan was born around 1 162 and died around 1227. In the process of Mongolian troops sweeping across the European continent, he had hundreds or even thousands of descendants. Therefore, it is very likely that he is the source of this same chromosome. Professor Sikes said: "Genghis Khan may be the most successful person in spreading genes in history. He passed on his Y chromosome to his children and grandchildren, who inherited his empire and got a chance to spread it further. Now, this Y chromosome is widely distributed in Asia, but I am sure it has a wider spread. "

The discovery of Genghis Khan's first Caucasian descendant set off a Genghis Khan craze in Europe and America. People began to re-examine the emperor who conquered everything wherever he went and began to study his military strategy and political rule. However, Professor Sykes said that this discovery not only proves that Genghis Khan has a vast territory, but more importantly, it shows that human races are closely related, there is no "pure-bred" race, and all races are equal without any difference.
