It's only like 50 times removed since there were about 50 generations between Elros and Aragorn. But even that really isn't much closer genetically than two random strangers on earth. 50 generations is a long time to stir up the genetic mix.

50 generations is a long time to stir up the genetic mix.

Or a lot of time to inbreed in far flung isolated settlements.

I wonder if the Dunedain Jaw existed. Or maybe Numenorean haemophilia?

I imagine that a ranger with haemophilia wouldn't last very long

Statistically it's almost guaranteed to be less related than two random strangers.
