How many generations of cousins have married in this family?
This is a HUGE problem among tribal and/or islamic people.
And the Amish.
Seriously.
Goes back to Mohammed. Seventy generations, more? It’s especially pervasive in Sunni countries, with well over half of all marriages between first cousins or even between uncles and nieces.
I don’t know about all that, but if we ever have an ass-kicking competition, I want this guy on my team.
Maybe it was the x-rays?
The Farsis, in southwest India, also have a HUGE problem. The Farsis allow ALL marriages except mother and son. Yep, brother-sister, aunt-nephew, father-daughter...ugh, and so on.
Zuben Mehta, a world class and world famous musician and concert master, is a Farsi and was asked about the horrible inbreeding in these Farsis in India. The Farsis were thrown out of their native Persia because the Persians had become Muslim and Islam deplored the inbreeding.
Mehta admitted that it was true. The inbreeding created so many mental and physical problems...but, occasionally it produced a genius...like ME, he said. True story.
The Pakistanis have the inbreeding because of their CULTURE, not because of Islam. Their culture is older and more important even than their faith.
Both cultures KNOW how stupid dangerous it is to inbreed, but they still do it. Dumb.
