Is it true that about 0.5 percent of men worldwide carry a Y-chromosome lineage traced to Genghis Khan?

Yes. A 2003 peer-reviewed study reports that a Y-chromosomal lineage carried by likely male-line descendants of Genghis Khan makes up roughly 0.5 percent of the world total, and a reference book repeats the same 0.5 percent of the global male population figure. Other items confirm the lineage's existence and regional frequency but do not give the worldwide percentage.
