Julia Drusila (middle of 39-24 January 41) seems to certainly be a member of this category since she was killed age one shortly after her father, the emperor nicknamed "Caligula", was assassinated. Imperator Caesar Marcus Opellius Antoninus Diadumenianus Augustus (208-218) is very probably a member of that category since he was killed age nine. There are people who never had any children and so don't have any descendants. When it comes to descendants, there are several different categories of persons. I do suggest one possible explanation for Sophie Neveu being the only descendant of Jesus at the end of my answer. I don't know how to calculate those odds but my guess is that they would be extremely small.

The odds wold be quite high that someone living 2,000 years ago would have millions and millions of descendants today.īut i suspect that the odds that someone living 2,000 years ago would have one, and only one, descendant living today would be extremely tiny. The odds would be quite high that someone living 2,000 years ago would not have any descendants living today. Having one, and only one, single living descendant 2,000 years later would be balancing on the knife's edge between having one's descendants die out totally and having more than one descendant at the time.

It is very probable that someone living 2,000 years ago would have either no living descendants at all, or else millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and probably even billions, of living descendants at the present. Statistically, it is very improbable that Jesus Christ, or any other person who lived 2,000 years and at least fifty generations ago, would have one and only one living descendant at the time of the movie The Da Vinci Code (2006).
