genghis khan hundreds of children shit is completely conjectural and not really supported by the sources. its mostly a fun-fact backtracking a wide lineage and conflating that with the man individually.
like a stupid proportion of euros are technically descended from distant royals with just a few children just as a function of it being a long time ago.
Genghis has that too but more importantly just his official inheriting children's dynasties controlled a huge part of the planet for centuries. the last Chinngissid ruler was put down in fucking 1757. Genghis didnt have to have hundreds of kids for his family tree and genetic footprint to be massive.
and thats not even bringing in infant mortality its getting logistically ridiculous to imagine how many pregnancies he'd have to cause for that to result in hundreds of children
e: also its asiatic horde racist sterotyping no-one accuses equally violent polygamist euros like Alexander of the same
