Six degrees of separation is the theory that everyone and everything is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world, so that a chain of "a friend of a friend" statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps.
I like that the large # of subscriber's measure in Facebook database and the Erdos number in maths are showing the same result:
The average separation for all is ~ 5.7 degrees.
What does that mean in NOE: After reaching the relevant number / level of connectivity only the bread / source branches will be significant.
Example: X,Y chromosome tests will not really matter in NOE after the separation in the family reached the above level! With other words: a far family member in your tree will matter less then some people on the street who shows similar interest then you.
