how far back is that in terms of great grandpas and great grandmas?

According to an unverified internet search, the average age of childbirth for women throughout history is 23.2 years, and for men it is 30.7.

So, statistically, your great^6463 grandmother is the same as mine. Same goes for our great^6512 grandfather.

They were freaks. They didn't have as many generations of separation so they were definitely fucking their cousin at best.
