Then I figured that back in that time there were 64 people that I inherited genes from.....took some of the awe out of it....

To me, that makes it more amazing. Look at it this way...if any one of those 64 people had done one little thing different 250 years ago...something as simple as taking a misstep resulting in a fall and breaking their neck, you wouldn't be here today.

If one day Ug decided to go hunting in the rain and got sick and died, instead of staying warm in his cave, millions of us wouldn't be here today. World history would be drastically different.
