1 in 200 Men Descended From Genghis Khan? New DNA Evidence Says No

Genghis Khan on the Steppe by a mausoleum building.

The long-held belief that a significant portion of the male population can trace their lineage back to the Mongol emperor Genghis Khan has been challenged by new genetic research. A study of the remains of Golden Horde elites suggests that the genetic legacy of the great conqueror may be far less widespread than the popular “1 in 200″ claim suggests, adding a new layer of complexity to the history of the Mongol Empire.

The Prolific Conqueror and the C3* Star-Cluster

Genghis Khan, born Temüjin, forged the largest contiguous land empire in history in the 13th century, an empire that stretched from the Pacific Ocean to Eastern Europe. His military campaigns were brutal, but the resulting Pax Mongolica facilitated trade and cultural exchange along the Silk Road. Given his vast empire and numerous wives and concubines, it was long assumed that Genghis Khan left behind a profound genetic legacy.

A landmark 2003 study seemed to confirm this, identifying a Y-chromosome lineage, known as the C3* star-cluster, present in about 8% of men across a large part of Central Asia. Extrapolating from this, researchers proposed that approximately 16 million men alive today, or 1 in 200 worldwide, could be his direct-line descendants. This extraordinary claim captured the public imagination and has been widely cited ever since.
