The line doesn't go back to early humans. The line goes back to the the very "trunk" of the tree of life, a microbe known as LUCA - the Last Universal Common Ancestor.

Ancestry doesn't just run through the history of man, it runs through the history of all life on Earth.

I know a Luca. Nice guy. Horny as hell, but a nice guy

Sure, but at some point there was an ancestor who wasn't human enough to think of it as "a line".

... but you would still be descended from them. Directly. One could even say in a linear fashion.
