    Given that when we go back 6,000 years - at least 240 generations - basic maths tells us that we would have had billions of times more ancestors than people who ever lived which informs us that humanity must share a number of common ancestors.

    The identification of just one common ancestor from 6,000 years ago is no surprise.
