Original Note:
The math is incorrect. “ It is the upper bound, should be an inequality owing to recombinations (same ancestor counted more than once in the tree). Otherwise at the 33d generation there would be 10 billion ancestors, 2 O > than the world's population at the time.” https://x.com/nntaleb/status/1819339104108040565?s=46
