inbreeding and cousins

[PlatinumGold]

lets take a boy and his female cousin on his fathers side.

so say mother is x1x2 father x3y1

uncle is x3y2 and aunt is x4x5

son = x(1 or 2) and y1

female cousin = x3 and x(4 or 5)

he would have his mothers X chromozone and his dads Y chromozone.

she would have her fathers X chromozone and her mothers X chromozone.

hence they would have no chromozones in common. 😉


so would it be inbreeding?

Too close for comfort.

I would imagine sleeping with your cousin IS expanding your horizon..........

No sh1t. Besides being wierd, talk about a hassle. 😛 There are too many good looking girls out there that AREN'T your blood relative to be hitting on cousins.

Funny... I was just listening to a Tom Leykis archive on the same topic.

:Q

Did you guys research this? Or do you have an extensive family history?

Yeah, technically you are increasing the number of people who you consider a viable partner

But I don't think genetics works that way in the OP... inbreeding diseases still pop up when first cousins have kids

that would mean she is your 28th cousin, not your first cousin 28 times removed.

by korean law at the time, it was illegal for my wife and i to be married because we are of the same "tribe".

now, for most of us in the US that seems ridiculous. matter of the way we did get married legally was because i gave up my korean citizenship and we had an international marriage, licensed by the US.

my point is, most of what i'm seeing on these boards against "cousin" marriages seem kind of reactionary. fact is, first cousin marriages are legal in 20+ US states.

You make it sound like you're 800 years old.

I'd say that your situation is quite different than a first cousin situation.

Think about it, your blood has been diluted through 28 generations. That's almost 900 years of dilution.

Maybe not so much in America (too new and the whole melting pot thing) but in places where towns and villages are many hundreds of years old, it seems almost a certainty that you could find a common ancestor between people whose families have always lived in the same town or village. No big deal.

No wonder there is so many "retarted" people here on ATOT... :disgust:

 

[chcarnage]

Unless you're a Drosophila, you have more than two pairs of chromosomes 😉 Humans have 22 pairs of gender unspecific chromosomes. Babies of cousins on average have several pairs of identical chromosomes. So they don't have a "back up" for bad, recessive mutations.

go ahead and hit it

Frankly I'm thinking that if you are dating someone with the same last name you should at least meet her (you're) relatives, might have tipped you off. 😀

There was a recent study done (around 2000) which said the chances of birth defects between first cousins are 2% higher than if they are not first cousins.

And I just read this today on Slashdot: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060701/ap_on_sc/brotherhood_of_man

 

[compuwiz1]

Why do you ask, are you considering doing one of your cousins?

Yeah, I'd also read that the chances of birth defects between first cousins was the same as when the woman was 40 or older. Sort of interesting.
