The greatly distant familial ties between Eve and Jesus and me and my presidential grandson indicate that the successes of Jesus and of my great-great-grandson are indirect. By indirect, I mean that their achievements are not a direct outcome of who they are related to. These outcomes have nothing to do with genetics and have very small possibilities of occurring. This small probability of someone’s great-great-great-grandson becoming president or giving birth to Jesus causes us to quickly associate all familial ties to that president or to Jesus as responsible for that president and Jesus’s success. By quickly associating the successes of one family member to that of another family member makes it seem that there is an intentional and a direct correlation between them. The successes of your ancestors are for the most part independent of your own
