it says, that - statisticly spoken - the longer you go back in time, the more probable your relation with any high-ranking personality in history becomes (e.g. with Karl the Great 747-814) ...according to statistics it becomes even more unrealistic to have no such ties, when living in the right geographic, ethnic and cultural context ... of course the number of "unimportant" people someone is related with (to?), is considerably higher ;-) )
