> [Genghis Khan] was born to a mother who had been kidnapped and [raped] by his father, a practice in which Genghis Khan himself would later engage.

> He and his men would kill the heads of other clans then force the survivors to join their united “super-clan.”

> Each time he conquered a new clan or people, Genghis Khan would [rape] the women, either to himself or to his head chiefs. This is how he acquired enough wives to father the number of sons necessary to provide the DNA lineage which we know today.

Standard infanticide practice for many primate species. Humans just scale better.

Being descended from a mass rapist isn't something to brag about. And let's not gloss over what those women went through.
