No Conquering, Per Se
Speaking of Genghis Khan, if Douglas Adams were still alive he would no doubt be tickled by the news that a DNA search for a modern descendant of Genghis Khan “from outside the Mongolian warlord’s ancient empire” has turned up… an accountant.
Well, accounting professor to be exact. With, as the article points out, a receding hairline.
The professor was quoted as saying, “I think I do have a certain number of administrative skills,” but “I haven’t done any conquering, per se.”
Curiously, the article notes that “No one has tested Genghis’ actual DNA because his tomb has never been found.” So it’s not clear what they’re basing the comparison off of. His sons? Common markers in the regions he ruled? The article doesn’t spell it out.
