Why did Genghis Khan have so many descendants?

Some time ago there was a news that went like this: Taylor. Smith is a well-known expert in human genetics.

In 2003, he did a controversial study called "Genghis Khan's genetic test". According to his research, about 16 million people are now descendants of Genghis Khan.

In fact, if we do a simple calculation, we will find that this is a very boring conclusion.

Genghis Khan lived in the 12th century, and now it is the 21st century, 900 years apart, with 20 years as a generation, there are 45 generations. Based on the high birth rate in ancient times, conservative calculations show that each of his descendants has an average of two offspring. Suppose he has two children, and each of his children has two children, he has four grandchildren, and four grandchildren give birth to eight great-grandchildren, and so ,..on

In this way, Genghis Khan should have 2 45 descendants, about 35 trillion. That's a lot more than the current population combined, what's wrong with that? The reason for this phenomenon is that over time, more and more of his descendants have been produced, and the number of offspring intermarrying with each other has increased.

In the same way, everyone in the 12th century had so many descendants.

In turn, we can infer how many ancestors modern people have. Each person has parents (2 in the first generation), and the parents have their own parents (4 in the second generation), and 8 ancestors in the third generation ,..There are 35 trillion people in the 45th generation of ancestors.

This was also far more than the population of the time combined, because the human parent tree was not a strict tree, and there was also fusion between the branches, that is, the union of people of the same blood in their ancestors.

Therefore, the human genes are constantly converging, and it can be said that every two contemporaries are related by blood to a greater or lesser extent.

It's been so long, there will definitely be a lot of offspring, this is normal!

ps"My mom is his offspring.

Because he doesn't have family planning.

It's like we're all descendants of dragons.

This is absolutely fake, the descendants of Genghis Khan have basically been killed, they are all descendants of other Mongols, Timur killed Central Asia and West Asia, and the first Taishi killed the rest, Tibetan hot mom was killed, Emperor Taiji was killed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Golden Horde in Eastern Europe was not the son of Genghis Khan, and the Ilkhanate was the first to fall.

Genghis Khan's descendants were: the eldest son Jochi, the second son Chagatai, the third son Wokotai, and the fourth son Tulei. The daughters are: the eldest daughter Huo Zhen Farewell Concubine, the second daughter Tear Gan, and the third daughter Alhai Farewell Concubine.

Genghis Khan had a total of four sons and three daughters. The sons are: the eldest son Jochi, the second son Chagatai, the third son Wokotai, and the fourth son Tulei. The daughters are: the eldest daughter Huo Zhen Farewell Concubine, the second daughter Tear Gan, and the third daughter Alhai Farewell Concubine.

The eldest son, Mu Chi, was born after his mother was robbed, so his bloodline was questioned throughout his life, so he didn't perform too well. Although later generations proved that he was indeed the son of Genghis Khan.

Muchi did not have high achievements, but his son Batu became famous in later generations, and Batu led troops to conquer European countries and established the Kipchak Khanate, the predecessor of Russia. The second son, Chagatai, founded the Mughal Empire, which is today's India.

There are many descendants of Genghis Khan, so of course there are many women, and there are more than forty of them. Among them, because of the habits of the Mongolian people, especially the most noble wife and Erti, Genghis Khan's women belong to the four major harems.

In addition to these women, Genghis Khan had countless women in his lifetime. It is said that when he was fighting in various places, he once acquiesced to his subordinates to choose beauties to him whenever he went, so he was able to leave so many descendants in the end. It can be said that the bloodline of Genghis Khan is simply blooming everywhere.

Genghis Khan's descendants add up to nearly 1 million, including today's Buryats, Tuvans, and Kalmyks. Of course, there are those who have lived in China.

China: Among the people in Inner Mongolia today, it is estimated that there are about 3 million to 4 million descendants of Genghis Khan, which is also the largest in China.

In addition, there are Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai, Heilongjiang, Sichuan, Beijing, Yunnan and other places, where the descendants of Genghis Khan are still distributed.

Mongolia: Mongolia was once part of China and had about 2.5 million descendants of Genghis Khan.

Russia: At one time, most of Russia was occupied by the four khanates, and naturally many descendants of Genghis Khan were left here.

For example, the Golden Horde, founded by Batu, left more than 6 million descendants here, who are now called Tatars. When the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was the largest, it also included a part of Russia, and naturally left many descendants of Genghis Khan.

Shenjiagang is home to more than 1,400 people, and the earliest ancestral records come from the Ming Dynasty. Due to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty at that time, the descendants of the Yuan Dynasty were hunted down and killed.

Descendants of Genghis Khan:

In a small mountain village in China, more than 1,000 descendants of Genghis Khan, Emperor Yuan Shun had no choice but to flee to the former grassland. And Emperor Yuan Shun had an uncle who was divided into Shanxi regions at that time. There was such a long distance in between, so I gave up and fled with him.

Finally, after family discussion, they were ready to take 18 sons and 18 daughters incognito. Before leaving, he changed his name to Shen, which means standing up to the heavens and the earth. In order to ensure maximum survival, everyone fled separately.

At that time, an iron pot was broken and divided into 18 pieces, hoping that future generations would be able to gather together by the pieces in the future. At that time, it was too chaotic, and in the end, it was not clear to **, and it was not possible to get together again after all.

In the "Shen Family Tree" of this village, there is a record of the escape of the ancestors more than 600 years ago, as well as the story of changing the surname. Nowadays, there is also a temple of Emperor Yuan built in this village, and every festival will go to worship.

Hehe. There are about 17 million direct descendants of Genghis Khan.

It is estimated that about 17 million people in the world are direct descendants of Genghis Khan, accounting for about the global population, including the British royal family. Oxford Ancestry Genetic Testing launched a service called "Y-Clan" in 2004, specifically designed to identify Genghis Khan's descendants,** for £180.

Genghis Khan's time is seven centuries ago, and Oxford Ancestry Genetic Testing does not have a DNA sample of Genghis Khan, is the test result accurate? Professor Sykes says the accuracy of the test can be trusted. Over the course of a decade, they analyzed the DNA of countless male inhabitants of the former Mongol Empire, and found that a large number of Asian males had the same Y chromosome, and that the Y chromosome originated from a man who lived in the early 13th century.

Genghis Khan, born around 1162 and died in 1227, had hundreds, if not thousands, of descendants as the Mongol armies swept across the continent. Therefore, he is most likely to be the first of this same chromosome. Professor Sykes said

Genghis Khan, perhaps the most successful male in history, passed on his Y chromosome to his children and grandchildren, who inherited his empire and were given the opportunity to spread further. Now, this Y chromosome is widely found in Asia, but I'm sure it's even more widespread. ”

The discovery of Genghis Khan's first Caucasian descendant set off a Genghis Khan fever in Europe and the United States, and people began to re-examine this 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 very vast territory, but more importantly, it shows that human races are closely related to each other, there is no such thing as a "pure-blooded" race, and that there is no difference between the various races.

Genghis Khan's descendants are:

1, Princess Huozhen Farewell Concubine:

Princess Huozhen Beiji, also translated as Princess Huozhen Beiqi and Princess Huoazhen Boji, was the eldest daughter of Genghis Khan Temujin, and was named the eldest princess of Changguo, and later married to King Changzhongwu. It is the prototype of the Chinese Zheng princess in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

2, Wokotai:

He was the third son of Genghis Khan. In 1225, he was enshrined in the upper reaches of the Shihe River and the area east of Lake Balkhash, and built the city of Yemili. In 1229, the Kuritai Assembly was proclaimed to the throne and ruled the entire Mongol Empire.

Continuing his father's legacy, he expanded his territory, went south to destroy the Jin Kingdom, and sent Batu on expeditions to Europe, during which he expanded his territory to Central Asia, North China, and Eastern Europe. During his reign, he appointed the Khitan Yelu Chucai as the Zhongshu Order, adopted the Han method, and opened the department to take scholars, reused the Central Plains people, and laid the foundation of the Yuan Dynasty.

3, Chagatai:

Chagatai was the second son of Genghis Khan and his wife. He was a smart, capable, intelligent, learned and formidable Mongolian general. Because Chagatai was familiar with Zasa, he was a stern law enforcer.

4, Child's only catty and towing mines:

He was the fourth son of Yuan Taizu Temujin. In his early years, he participated in the attack on the Jin Kingdom and the Western Expedition, and made many meritorious contributions. When Genghis Khan divided the princes, he was in charge of the ears, pastures and armies in the river of distress and the cowardly green river, and the honorific title was "Ye Nayan".

After the death of Genghis Khan, in accordance with the tradition of "the youngest son guarding the stove", he served as the "prison state" and supported Wokotai to succeed to the throne. Shaoding led the army to defeat the Jin army in the fifth year, and on the way back to the army, he suddenly died of illness.

5, Jochi:

Jochi is the eldest son of Genghis Khan and a famous Mongolian general. After Genghis Khan founded the country, he divided the Mongolian people into his sons, and Jochi received 9,000 households and 4,000 troops.

In 1225, Genghis Khan divided the fiefdoms of his four sons. The fiefdom of Jochi was in the westernmost part of the country, west of the Stone River in Yeer and north of Khorezm, until the Mongol horseshoe reached, and he became the ancestor of the Urus of Jochi, one of the four great Mongol khanates in the world.

Genghis Khan's descendants are also Yu Daoming in Yujiawan, Sichuan, but the descendants of Tiemujian, the great-grandson of the great leader Genghis Khan, who has disappeared in the long river of history, and they lived in seclusion here in the mid-14th century, and it has been more than 600 years.

Almost all the villagers here have a fragmentary genealogy, and when they are pieced together, one by one historical stories emerge in front of them, which shows the picture of their life after coming to Sichuan.

It wasn't until recent years, when their clansmen saw the poems left by these ancestors in the process of sorting out the genealogy, that they knew that there were so many descendants of Tiemujian who were scattered all over the world.

The living conditions of posterity.

The 19 families living in Yujiawan now have the surname Yu, although they are Mongolian descendants, but they have lived in the mainland for a long time, they have long been accustomed to the way of life of another ethnic group, and now they have long become Han Chinese.

Living in the land of Bashu, some living customs have long disappeared in time, but they will more or less still retain some indelible marks, in the festival and New Year, they will still go to the grave of their ancestors, commemorate and remember them, and in their homes have always hung the portrait of Genghis Khan, has always regarded him as a hero, after all, once dominated.

It's still there. Genghis Khan's descendants now live mainly in Mongolia. Of course, some may be in the Central Plains, or in Inner Mongolia, but the number should be relatively small.

Genghis Khan's descendants are still there, Genghis Khan occupied a lot of territory during his time, leaving a lot of descendants, in the Inner Mongolia region of China, Russia, Mongolia, there are his descendants.

Personally, I think it's still there, but they have been incognito in order to avoid the enemy's revenge.

is abundantly present, and real statistics show Europeans. Many people have the blood of Genghis Khan, and the grandmothers of the Qing emperors are also from the ** family.

It's definitely still there, it's just that it's not as prominent as it was back then, but there should still be many of his descendants.

It should exist, after all, Genghis Khan's ** family is still very large, distributed in many countries and regions, and there are many descendants.

According to some scholars, it is possible that the descendants of Genghis Khan still live in Mongolia today.
