Oh, there was something special about Genghis. His holdings stretched across most of Asia and into "Europe" (OK, Turkey, so it's debatable if that's Europe). He had some interesting... habits?
Harems were the norm anyway, and as the most important/wealthiest male, his was the largest. He got first pick of the women from any new region he conquered. One of his (many) sons had 40 sons of his own, and one of his grandsons (Kublai) had 22 legitimate sons. The illegitimate count isn't known. In the empire’s region, 8% of the current male population have that identical chromosome, and so are direct male descendants.
That's .5% of the world's population, and it's only the males.
Now, it's pretty unlikely for me, but I can only go back about 4 generations, and some of them were gypsies. So, who knows? And Akima? Pretty likely that there's some Khan there somewhere...

If you've Western European blood, you've got a rather good chance of being related to ol' Chuck. I am—a friend thinks that's funny, keeps calling me "The Hammer" after Charlemagne's grandfather, Charles Martel. Something about me putting my fist through a wall*.

actually we dont really know for sure if it is Genghis or not. The study said 3/5 people from china share a common ancestor from that time period. Its is speculated that it is Genghis because of the harems and amount of children he fathered.
