He altered the course of history in ways we really can't comprehend today, and his genetic legacy is merely one aspect of that legacy. Alexander was a piker by comparison.

I'm not disputing the points made for Genghis Kahn as being the greatest (arguably) general but I don't agree that the gap between him and Alexander the Great is as wide as you suggest. I think you are underestimating the cultural influence of Alexander's conquests as well. One of the many ancient cities he founded was Alexandria in 300 BC that became one of the greatest/most influential Mediterranean cities in terms of trade and culture.

In that sense, you'd have to put Constantine on the list as well.
