Genghis Khan Population

Question: is it true that 95% of the old world's population is, or could be, descended from Genghis khan?

Answer: I think it's more like 1 in 200 people throughout Europe and Asia are descended from Genghis Khan (or at least any Mongol). At the very least, I'm sure there are a lot more people not identified as being Mongolian, descended from the Khan's Mongol soldiers. In Mongolia, Central Asia, parts of northern China, and Eastern Europe, I'm sure partial descent at least, from Mongols is common.
