Historically cultures and tribes that do not practice exogamy are usually wiped out by their healthier, more socially-connected neighbors who attacked and took their land, enslaved their women, and killed the men.
exogamy - word of the day!
n. The custom of marrying outside the tribe, family, clan, or other social unit.
n. The fusion of gametes from individuals that are not closely related, as in outbreeding.
n. The custom among certain tribes which prohibits a man from marrying a woman of his own tribe.
Yep. Next they will be telling us it’s OK to rape your daughter.

10 commandments...morals...ethics...out the window...
ummm, so are animals. what’s your point?
Odd
was i bad to laugh?
Well, we’ve now seen what it does to destroy the British monarchy. Should they be euthanized instead of normalized?
Ignore those Biblical warnings against incest at one’s own peril. Leftists excel at such.
Not as bad as me to post it. But I'm cursed. I remember every joke I'm told. And when something triggers it, I'm forced to tell it.
While on the subject of W.va jokes...
What does a tornado and a divorce have in common in W.Va?
Someone is about to lose a trailer.
thats way to much to ask to read the dang article.....
Yep
I have a great sense of humor, but that is not funny, IMO.
“...So when do they start to “normalize” incest?”
...When they start to hear banjos in the background? :P
Some of the birth defect hype is a myth. For example, the fabled Appalachian type “inbreds” that were the basis for movies like Deliverance... But studies have shown that any unusual rates of birth defects in remote poverty stricken areas are far more likely attributable to fetal alcohol syndrome than inbreeding.
Another interesting thing that calls the whole inbreeding hype into question is the fact that as recently as 200 years ago, villages and settlements were typically so small and isolated that the average person met less than fifty people in their entire lives.
Think about that. If there were only fifty people in a typical village, then wouldn’t they all have to be related?
The fact is that only recently has increased population density and job relocation spread us out to the point where it is statistically unlikely that your neighbors or classmates will be cousins.
The further back you go, the more likely it is that your ancestors married their cousins.
So, we all come from a long line of inbreeders.
And look at us. We turned out juld figsplec, tcer splec yhloughl?
About 90 students raise their hands. "Well, that's a good start. Out of those who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?"
About 40 students raise their hands.
"That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?"
About 15 students raise their hand.
"Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?"
Three students raise their hands.
"That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further...Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?"
Way in the back, Homer raises his hand.
The professor takes off his glasses and says, "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." The student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium. When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks, "So, Homer, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost?"
Homer replied, "I thought you said Goat"
Five centuries was a long trial period to perfect that look.
The growth of humankind had to start with a lot of in-breeding. Small isolated communities grew into bigger and bigger ones without outside interaction. I grab a few paragraphs from some sites for reference. But in-breeding has been going on for thousands of years.
At least 16 million men in central Asia have the same male Y chromosome as the great Mongol leader.
‘One thirteenth century Persian historian claimed that within a century of Khan’s birth, his enthusiastic mating habits had created a lineage of more than 20,000 individuals,’ said team leader Dr Chris Tyler-Smith. ‘That now appears to account for around 8% of the men in central Asia.’
The ancient Egyptian royal families (for 3000 years) were almost expected to marry within the family, as inbreeding was present in virtually every dynasty. Pharaohs were not only wed to their brothers and sisters, but there were also “double-niece” marriages, where a man married a girl whose parents were his own brother and sister. It is believed that the pharaohs did this because of the ancient belief that the god Osiris married his sister Isis to keep their bloodline pure.
