In total, 5.3 million trees have been differentiated which, at the moment, are not related to each other and the largest family tree is made up of 13 million people. According to geneticist Yaniv Elrich, responsible for this study, it can be deduced from this work that "all human beings are members of the same family". But for the time being this family is limited, as most website users are from Europe, North America and English speakers. Therefore, the family will increase as the profile of the users expands.
