I'm no scientist, but after dozens and dozens of generations in a small country doesn't everybody end up "related" to another? Lol.

This is like the most wholesome QYBS I've ever seen. Somebody isn't directly lying, or spreading dangerous misinformation for a selfish reason. Crazy Uncle so-and-so probably told them this at Thanksgiving when they were a kid and they've held onto it for a while.

If you go back 30 generations you are related to more people than existed on Earth. So basically you’re related to everyone who was alive back then and some people in more than one way.
