One small change can lead to a totally divergent path. Think about it this way. You are supposed to meet your SO today at work. But you forgot to brush. No big deal. Right? Well your SO says hello, so you say it back and then she gets a whiff. Well end of conversation and that’s that. No wife. No kids. Not with her.

Or maybe you miss that buss that you barely caught. Or maybe you win the lotto at 19 and that changes everything for you.

You’re thinking wrong if you think lives have to be drastically different in every way for it to manifest as a whole new life. It can be the smallest thing but that tiny, infinitesimal thing can lead to a cascade of change or shunt people down an entirely different path.

Lastly, your ancestors would also be subject to these events, making all their lives very different as well.

Butterfly Effect.

right, but some movies show universes with very different pasts that still show a weirdly similar present. As you said, the smallest of things in the past should cause the present to be even more different, but in many movies that's not the case
