    Yeah, but on the other hand if you have a sibling - by this logic - it would be counted as another 4096 additional “past people” but it isn’t. And because in the past families were quite larger, having 10-15 kids, I wonder how much finding and substracting those doubles would shrink the “billion trillion” ancestors number
