There's only 7,000,000,000 population, so practically everyone is a descendant of Julius Ceasar.
Unless you're living in a remote pygmy village then yes you are the descendant of J. C.

This is very true. The actual number that was given to me was 328,667 approx. far cry from 2^60 but still a hell of a lot of people.
The thing I cannot get my head around is that I can be related by blood to both Julius Caesar AND Constantine the great, and yet Constantine the Great was not blood related to Julius Caesar...The Professor explained it to me and it made sense but it's all so confusing.
