For the record,
400 generations ago we had 2.58224987808691E+120 grandparents.
That's in exponential form, meaning move the decimal 120 places to the right.
Now obviously there wasn't that many people on earth at that time so it's not that easy to explain. But that doesn't change that there are a vast and endless, billions among billions of variables that make the chance of us managing to be born incalculable.

I'm not sure why your adding up all the grandparents and once then saying that there weren't that many people in the world at one time.
You only have two sets of grandparents at one time. That giant number is useless.

Not really. All it means is that our ancestors were a bunch of cousin frickers.
That's why I believe Alabama held the birth and expansion of the human race.

Have you compared your calculations of how many grandparents there are in 400 generations to how many humans were actually on the planet 10,000 years ago?
