Many genetic researchers have attempted to infer Genghis Khan's haplogroup to determine how many living descendants he and his ancestors have. Zerjal et al. (2003) claimed that 8% of people in "a large region of Asia" were likely descended from Genghis khan, 0.5% of the world's total population. <ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1180246/</ref> This finding has been hotly disputed however, and recent evidence (Wei et al. 2018) could find no evidence that the universal ruler himself belonged to this haplogroup, | Many genetic researchers have attempted to infer Genghis Khan's haplogroup to determine how many living descendants he and his ancestors have.
