Try a little arithmetic, based on the undebateable fact that it took two people, your parents to get you here. Each of your parents have two parents. So in the generation prior to your mother and father, there were four people whose pairing off and sharing love contributed to your existence.
You are the product of eight-great-grandparents, sixteen-great-great-grandparents, thirty-two-great-great-great-grandparents etc.. Keep multiplying that number by two.
