Not even close to correct, but at least 1 order of magnitude. 50 generations is only (approx) 1000 years.

Hey cousin MD. Ever hear of pedigree collapse? We can discuss it at Thanksgiving dinner. Bring a bottle of wine. And some yams. Yeah, some yams. That's probably what our distant African aunt, and uncle, ancestors had for their Thanksgiving dinners.

Hopefully Uncle Harry won't bore us with his vacation slides, like he usually does.

Pedigree collapse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Straight Dope: 2, 4, 8, 16 ... how can you always have MORE ancestors as you go back in time?
