The chances of what? They are still your distant relative, like everyone on earth. Someone from a different country is probably more distantly related, but unless they're a humanoid alien, they're still related to you.
- chris_wot 14y agoI guess there's not much point responding as the censor brigade came by and downvoted the hell out of my comment. It was a serious question, and I thank you for responding with a serious answer.
- freehunter 14y agoI don't think it was a censor bridge, it was a "this person didn't read the article" brigade. The point of the article was that everyone is related to everyone on a distant enough timescale. The person you responded to initially was making the point that everyone is your incredibly distant relative. Being in another country doesn't change that. 35 generations back, (mathematically) everyone has the same common ancestor.
