This is why the word "lineage" doesn't make much sense. Go back far enough and everyone is your ancestor. Assuming you have enough progeny, then go forward far

This is why the word "lineage" doesn't make much sense. Go back far enough and everyone is your ancestor. Assuming you have enough progeny, then go forward far enough and everyone is your descendent. It's more like a giant braid than a giant tree.
