You may also want to consider your own biases towards European history here. You know John, so you find his legacy amazing.
Do you know how many Canadian Prime Ministers can be tied back to the Sun King? Many of the French ones, and some of the others.
Ever considered that Obama might have ancestors of Royal Lineages in Africa? No? You know, there were powerful trade and skill unions all throughout
Africa?
People also discount the lineages of the Far East. Ever look at some of the newer immigrants from China, Asia, the Phillipines? That Filapina nanny
might be a descendant of some of the strongest clans of the Philippines. That man pushing a broom in your office is a mathematics phd from India and
he's Brahman.
In China this becomes more problematic to trace - Mao had many people destroy their family genealogies. However, you'll notice your children's
classmates families. Do you know that most of the immigrants from that area in the last 20 years are probably from the top 2% of People's government?
Their parents are the ones that tell everyone what they are supposed to be doing, and the conversation is a one-way one.
You also rarely here about the powerful trade chieftains of the Native Indians. And yet, many people who are "caucasian" in the Americas have native
ancestry. Many of the women they took as wives were chieftains daughters - men who saw that the white men were well resourced and oddly thought there
ugly daughter was beautiful. (aren't cultural standards fascinating?) These men thought they were doing a great thing for their daughters.
There are some of the great unwashed still coming to the Americas. But most of the new immigrants, they aren't the farmer, the soldier, the
uneducated homeless. No. They are the son of the Tribal Chief. They are cross section of the oldest tribe on the planet. They are doctors,
teachers, leaders.
And in two or three generations, the children, grand-children, great-grand-children of the most successful peoples on the planet will be interbreeding
with each other. In the Americas.
Do you know how many people of "superior" breeding have some version of "genius gene syndrome?" So many, it isn't consider a disorder, it is
considered common sense.
Fix the first problem - weakening of the lines that has happened by crossing with a section of the most hearty solid peasants, merchants, and skilled
class. Then introduce the top 2% of the other populations into the mix.
Its freaking brilliant.
