Anyone that is a descendent of you, is by necessity also a descendent of any one you are a descendent of. a subset.

??? Which is not what the shower thought is about . I suppose the sentence can be a little ambiguous.
It is impossible to have more descendents than your ancestors (have).
Rephrased, your ancestors always have more descendents than you do.
It's not "it is impossible to have more descendents than you (have) ancestors"
