For example, a Family Tree.&lt;p&gt;In general, a family tree is a directed acyclic graph. Branches of the tree will always join back together if you follow the history far enough.&lt;p&gt;The number of ancestors in a generation is 2^N, with N being the number of generations back you&amp;#x27;re looking. There were only 100 billion people that ever lived, so by the time you get about a thousand years back, it becomes literally impossible for all your ancestors to appear only once.&lt;p&gt;Of course, that&amp;#x27;s just an easy upper bound to make the point that becoming a graph is unavoidable. In practice, branches will come together a lot sooner than that.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Algorithm for Drawing Trees</title><url>https://rachel53461.wordpress.com/2014/04/20/algorithm-for-drawing-trees/</url></story>
