TIL: You Might Be Related to Genghis Khan | Today I Learned

[@unknown1859]

i am from afghanistan and "hazara" ethnic which means 1000 soldiers in persian. they were the 1000 genghis khans soldiers and this is how we are ralated to him.

[@magnuscoles5010]

Dinesh Lama I'm also from Afghanistan and yes we are taking revenge but not directly because our population is lower than them, Instead we study hard and take there jobs! that's why there are thousands of them have run in to Europe!

i think this guy is certainly related to him.

[@Wolfsbane909]

it should be noted that Genghis Khan took an concubine at every successful attack, it's also what motivated a lot of the riders. No one will saddle up to ride in a war campaign if there are no spoils of war to be had. After you take a city like Euesperides and offer no spoils of war people will quickly leave thats common sense. Genghis Khan shared his spoils of war which is why he was able to conquer most of Asia.

[@maxjohnson1950]

I’m Hazara from Afghanistan which is apparently descendentants of the Mongols and my DNA test showed I’m not related to Genghis Khan even though I have 25% Mongolian DNA

​@@Fizzy332Genghis was the biggest cheater of all.

[@starsoffyre]

And 8% are those who had a direct male lineage to him. Which means there is a good chance that most Mongolians are direct descendants, just not a direct male lineage.

[@ChromeMan04]

People in the comments are deluded. The small percentage of ancestry in the world is not even from him but likely from his soldiers. Even so, it’s highly suspect as most of his descendants (or rather his soldiers descendants) are found in China and Central Asia where the Mongols were mainly based.

[@evendarker9156]

It’s so funny that guys are proud that he related to them and don’t know that he rap*ed them

[@nakisakang8769]

I disagree, Indian, Iranian and Turkish people have been shown to have a link to Ghengis Khan too. Looking/being asian doesn't necessarily mean you're a descendent of his.

[@teovu5557]

He has many relatives he had like 10 wife's and like 10 children with them

[@DiemNguyen-ln7lh]

he has over 1000 kids

[@microtree47]

It's much more significant than that, I think it's that 0.5 percent of people are descended from him in the direct male line! Because there's a specific thing on the y chromosome. Evreryone in asia is likely descended from him many times over

[@maxjohnson1950]

i’m Afghan and have mongol blood, approximately 25%. I’m not related to Genghis Khan apparently, His paternal haplogroup is C and mines is the M haplogroup

Take the DNA test like The Genographic Project Geno 2,0 NG, FTDNA, 23andMe, Ancestry.com, etc.... and you will know you're related with Genghis Khan or not. Genghis Khan's belongs to Y Hg C2-M217. Some Manchurian men have Y Hg C2***-M48. Probably Aishin Gioro Pu Yi have Y Hg C2***-M48.
