Description
What did DNA really reveal about Genghis Khan's Y-DNA — and is the famous "16 million descendants" claim actually true?
For more than two decades, one of the most fascinating genetic stories in history has claimed that a single Y-chromosome lineage spread across Asia during the era of the Mongol Empire, eventually appearing in millions of living men. The lineage became known as the "star cluster," and its timing and geographic distribution led researchers to propose a remarkable possibility: that it could have originated with Genghis Khan or his close male-line descendants.
But there is a major problem with the popular version of the story.
