Is Everyone a Descendant of Royalty?

The video explores the concept of ancestry, focusing on the theory that all people with European ancestry are descendants of Charlemagne. It introduces the identical ancestors theory, which suggests that due to exponential growth in family trees, cousin marriages, and the six degrees of separation principle, everyone is connected to medieval royalty. The video explains how these principles apply not only to Europe but globally, suggesting that historical figures like the Prophet Muhammad and Ramses the Great are common ancestors to many people today.
