Do you personally know anyone who married their first cousin?

Is there any problem with their children?

I personally don't know any. However, for most of human history most marriages were between cousins. Also, for first generation first cousin marriages the genetic risk is 4 to 6 percent compared to 3 percent if not related. However, the genetic risk is greater for second generation first cousin (both sets of parents were first cousins) marriages.

Thanks a lot. But how do you know this info

[KelleyNice]

Most of it I learned in my homeschool courses "Health and PE" and "Biology." The part about cousin marriages was in an anthropology I read. However, that can also be derived from the fact that most of human history, when very humans existed, the small tribes of necessity would be closely related because there was considerable distance separating them from other tribes. Of course, young men are adventurous, would travel far and meet young women from other tribes. Naturally they would often mate because to limit inbreeding we have evolved to be sexually attracted to those we haven't been raised with.

Thanks and I'm impressed by your knowledge. Keep it up

[NathanDavis]

yes I do...

and other than their child being quite obsessed with a certain gold ring, not much of a problem

[Asker]

Great 😃

No that´s incest. Chances are that their children develop dysfunctions and auto immunal illnesses.

There are limits, things begin getting weird when it’s two distant generations

[Asker]

Means? Do you know any

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I don’t know what you mean but did you know the equal sign was made in 1557?

[Asker]

But it's still May

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Do you only get funky during certain times of the year?

[Asker]

No sometimes the advanced chronicles are better

[Dinosaursandanime65]

You’re mocking me aren’t you?

[moonpie89]

Haha yes.

[Asker]

Do they have children?
