This is an article from the Scientific American by Gary Stix. In it, he discusses a method of retracing early modern human migrations by comparing mitochondrial DNA mutations (which act as "molecular clocks") from different regions of the world.
This would give you the ability to retrace your lineage back to its founder - potentially, the founder of all humans as we know them...That brings us back to about 250,000 years ago. At 30 years per generation, that's 8333 generations. Big family tree - the entire human race et al.
