Are we all related through marriage?

Question

Are we all related through marriage? Like not neccasarily were all related by blood, but through marriage. Like the equivalent of say your dad's sister married a man who is your uncle, he is not related to you by blood but it part of the family through marriage and you are related to their children which would be your cousins. I am saying this on a large scale for everybody in the world because everyones family trees are interlinked because it just keeps going and branches off from everyn person. So are we all related by marriage somehow? Everyone in the world?

Answer 1

We are all related if you believe that Adam and Eve were the only people in the Garden of Eden.  However, by marriage, probably that way also or even if not by marriage by children from parents that weren't married etc. etc.

Answer 2

Answer 3

We are all related, through blood AND through marriage, but how far back?

If you read:  "Mapping Human History: Discovering the Past Through Our Genes" by Steve Olson, Mr. Olson claims we all have common ancestors within the past 2 millenia. He also states that everyone alive on earth today is descended from Nefertiti, Confucius and Julius Ceasar.

Answer 4

Probably. There's no real way to say -for sure-, but yea, probably we are all related in a legal sense.

Answer 5

Your logic just says so !

Answer 6

ithink we are all related honestly. if you look at it and take it back to slavery, the masters were having s*x with the slaves in which caused a mix baby correct? so long story short, we all have some one in our family who we dont know about that is of another race and or marriage. we are all related. and marriage just justifies my statement
