There's a problem with this though - only 2000 years have passed since Ymir's death but there are millions of SoYs in the world. How can they all be descended from her? This is a part of the problem I have with the theory pretending that they're all blood relatives to Ymir "Fritz". My theory saying that amongst the people who ate the three daughters and that weren't their children, and that became SoY for whatever reason (as an exception) can explain partially how there can be millions of SoY now, as their descendant would be aded along the direct descendants of Ymir.

Also, we have to consider that sometimes during Eldia's history (not all of the time obviously), there has been some ethnic spreading, with women from conquered countries forced to bear SoY. That might explain how many SoY there are right now.

About the number of SoY, there's something we don't really know, it's the proportion of SoY from the continent (not just the ones from Marley, but all over the world) and from Paradise. I think that there are a few millions on Paradise (2 or 3 something like that), plus the 586 000 Wall Titans but can we still consider them as a part of the population ? But the SoY from the rest of the world, we have no idea how many they are..
