African proverb thousands of ancestors behind you
The idea of walking like you have thousands of ancestors behind you is paraphrased from an African proverb.
The math has been shared in a variety of forms.
It is powerful.
How many tiny moments contributed to your being here right now?
You’re never alone. You’ve got an army behind you.

Yeudit Yudelevich Super weird to think of someone in 500 years looking at this same graph and you're just one of those "eight great grandparents" (okay didn't do the math, but you get the idea). That's all we'll be, some bullet point...even though right now we're so vividly alive! Cool to think about
It keeps going too
It sounds a little scary but I'm looking forward to being reunited with my loved ones
This is well and truly mind blowing

Yes to this.
We definitely all exist and stand upon the shoulder of years of sweat, toil, tribulations and triumph. That we are here is nothing short of remarkable genetic survival of our ancestral lineage. Great post.
This one hit deep!
