Family ties that bind? A high percentage of farmers at 9500-year-old Basta in Jordan shared a genetic defect in which two incisors (red numbers) were missing.

Adam and Eve started it all. However, they were perfect until sin entered through disobedience. It’s been downhill ever since.

so....once we had inbred ourselves to the point we became too stupid to catch a rabbit, we took up farming?

Good question; I assumed that it referred to the fact that they were the first farmers and that they were also inbred. Awkward, at best.

There have been other periods when the only mating prospects in some areas were relatives, such as following the great plague of the early middle ages where 35%+ of the population was decimated.

So what were some Swiss doing in southern Jordan 9500 years ago? If they went there to see Petra, those ruins are older than we thought.

Hmmm. This was the pre-islam middle east area. THe religion may have changed but the inbreeding stays the same.
