The curse does have meaning - but DNA doesn't lie. Jesus had none of his.
The two genealogies of Jesus do not jive but both clearly are the genealogy of Jesus through Joseph not Mary. Mary is not listed.

The Ebionites who were among the very first Christians did not have any belief in the virgin birth as they used the OT and the book of Matthew which in their time was minus the first 2 chapters which were added later. It is also noteworthy that 2 of the gospels do not mention the virgin birth at all.
These questions have been answered for millennia, and are easy to find in the information age: Link to answer.
