The rest of the story:
"What is it about Brooke? Well, nothing — at least genealogically.
Even without a documented connection to a notable forebear, experts say the odds are virtually 100 percent that every person on Earth is descended from one royal personage or another.
"Millions of people have provable descents from medieval monarchs," said Mark Humphrys, a genealogy enthusiast and professor of computer science at Dublin City University in Ireland. "The number of people with unprovable descents must be massive."
By the same token, for every king in a person's family tree there are thousands and thousands of nobodies whose births, deaths and lives went completely unrecorded by history. We'll never know about them, because until recently vital records were a rarity for all but the noble classes.
It works the other way, too. Anybody who had children more than a few hundred years ago is likely to have millions of descendants today, and quite a few famous ones."
"The longer ago somebody lived, the more descendants a person is likely to have today. Humphrys estimates that Muhammad, the founder of Islam, appears on the family tree of every person in the Western world."

Ciara if i say Cara or sEra, without knowing the meaning of your name or your character so how will you feel, so please read about Prophet Mohammad (Peace be Upon Him) or understand just see what a great man he was. Do not make false statement either - Prophet Jesus( May All aah bless Him), understand their purpose then compare with Hollywood actress or any other actors is insane. And if you know that how our prophet respected and loved his wives.

Yeah, I read it, too. Basically, the article meant that we are all inbreds, in one way or another. And we are all descendents of royalty...in some way or another...makes sense...if you think about it...I'm not talking about Adam and Eve, either. I'm talking about exponential growth where it's a matter of mathematics and logic...

I read that article too, and she probably is related to all of those famous people, that are listed. 20,000,000 other people are also related to Muhammad, and a bunch of other famous people you might have herd of. If you go far enough back in antiquity, you are also probably related to some famous people that you would have herd of. The trick is to just go back far enough in history, everybody is related to somebody famous.
