My old man, bless him, found one instance of inbreeding going back to 1800 for each one and going back to 1700 on a few. My son's mother's ancestry is very different from mine. If anything I think we might live in period of the greatest number of long distance gene flow events in history. And I think this has been true for hundreds of years at this point. EDIT: That's not to say inbreeding doesn't hugely reduce your number of ancestors, just that the modern world for many social groups has much less inbreeding than earlier societies.
