What if my tree isnt a tree and it has a cycle?

Then your family might just need therapy

I'm pretty sure all bloodlines have circles.

Well, I suppose if you go backwards your family tree has circles. But nowadays incest isn't particularly common is it?

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Most cultures frown uppn it but cousin marriage is very common is some parts of the world. There is a great wikipedia article on Incest.

But I was really talking about the former. The likelihood that not a single crossing has happened since the beginning of like is very small.

Fair, it'll be a bit of a whacky tree. But definitely not a line

Trees can have cycles, but trees will always be Trees.
