Should we be marrying within 4th cousins?

I've recently come across the work of esteemed anthropologist Robin Fox and his research on marriage customs and fertility including varied levels of incest.
http://robin-fox.com/tribal-blogs
http://www.robin-fox.com/laws-and-generalizations

And Agnes Helgason et al's 2008 paper "An Association between Kinship and Fertility of Human Couples" does strengthen the argument.

by that I mean is it the genetic compatibility causing the higher fertility or that they're more close knit social bonds associated with a population where you were significant;y more likely to marry within a 4th cousin that promoted higher efficiency of child rearing and interconnectedness?

Scandinavia doesnt fit that model, they are quite inbred, didnt they even have an app in iceland where it told you if the person you are dating is (distant) relative. In other words they are quite inbred but have fewer children. Pakistan on the other hand is very inbred and they have lots of kids. Therefore it seems the number of kids is dependant on current cultural trends rather than how much genetic diversity there is between you and your partner

the negative argument might be that you're removing deleterious recessive genes like cystic fibrosis that give you tolerance against tuberculosis when they're heterogeneous
so even if you combine two inbred lines they'd both have expunged the highly adaptive cf gene meaning they would die of TB while the outbred population survives

Nice pseudoscience retard, Scandinavians have the healthiest gene pool, the Icelandic are very recent from one population of Norway the difference being they are aware of it. Scandinavians are homogeneous which is why they have the best looking, highest iq and have a huge ratio of doing well in athletics for having such small populations. They effectively filtered out most of the shit genetics, so they don't have retarded people like you.

Japan used to have these hugely violent clan warfare past, due to father's brother's daughter marriage practices supposedly I think the shogunate outlawed this marriage law and weakened the clan structure and unifying the nation, yet japan beneath the surface is still very insular and stand offish and has quite a lot of incestuous themes in its culture even its founding myths is incestuous and derive from a marriage between a brother and sister Izanagi and Izanami) giving birth to two devils after getting the marriage ceremony customs slightly wrong then birth to all the islands when they did the ceremony again properly.

If I had an attractive cousin that was into it, I'd potentially marry her. Don't even care. The reason certain groups practice this is to maintain the maternal line, ie, the mitochondrial DNA. Unfortunately my mtDNA dies with me, and though a woman probably exists with it, I actually did look back on my family tree and there is no unbroken female line. Given that we routinely live into our hundreds and are highly durable, it's a real shame.

I'm not sure how one might build it but you could use historical genealogy, and crime/war records such as the japanese have but you might find the language barrier a problem in some cases though there should be anthropological studies on some recent or contemporary societies or tribal groups and clans.

I wonder how one can explain that countries like colombia and nicaragua (high mestizo populations) had birth rates of over 6 and 7 children in the 50's.
Even though mestizo's would be 4th cousins, genetically they would be further apart than 4th cousins from a homogeneous population.

>> No.11280410

>>11280356
Actually that could well be a powerful driver, since total female fertility correlates with the age at marriage, and a second or third cousin would be much easier to find to marry your daughter to than a stranger who would likely meet later in their life and have fewer fertile years?
anyone outside of 4th cousin is probably as good as a complete stranger anyway.
I would also consider the low movement of people from place to place, maybe you would marry someone from the next village over who is more likely to be a relative of some sort?
their could definitely be some genetic compatability effect going on too at the boundary between inbreeding depression vs outbreeding depression as we see in fitness traus with animalstudies.

>>11280380
I'm speculating that the genetic compatability fertility rate is less important than the age of marriage and you're more likely to find a mate at a younger age if they're part of your wider extended family.

Without and further details,
I'd expect that inbreeding happens more often when the people are less educated and less mobile.
these two factors are strongly correlated with poverty which is strongly correlated with the number of children.

exactly. People fantasize about race wars and fascist utopias, but the real redpill is that collapse will be your clan and nothing else.

That's why, when you look at ancient remains, they often have the same exact Y haplogroup. Isn't it odd that a bunch of people would have the same paternal descent?

Except it's not, because the only reason they were living together in the first place is because they were borne from the same father.

the summary seems to be that you should prioritise marrying someone reasonably closely related to you but not too close because it offers better genetic complement and offers stronger social bonds which give long term selection advantages.

is inbreeding the mechanism by which a population regulates it's size?
smaller population, lesser chance of mating with someone more closely related, greater likely gene compatibility, greater fertility
larger population, greater chance of mating with someone less closely related, greater likely gene incompatibility, lesser fertility.
though it might collapse completely if the population is so low that greater offspring mortality from inbreeding depression, but you might expect this in turn to rapidly purge the deleterious recessives and allow the population to recover, ignoring complications from predators, disease and food availability or perhaps modulated by it even more?

That having tight knit family clans was more adaptive than broad societies in our prehistoric environment.

That means that there's not really such a thing as a mythical friendly society that helps each other out. Rather, societies themselves were formed from blood relatives, and the smaller these clans are the tighter knit they are.

If you look at paleolithic remains, you'll find that the people living in an area often have the same Y haplogroup. That's not an accident; they were all descended from the same father or grandfather.

cope.

Race mixing allows advantageous alleles from isolated populations to mix and form better combinations. Of course, it also allows the opposite--for deleterious alleles to combine into something even more deleterious, but these abominations are selected out with time. The long term result is superior.

Also everyone on earth is racially mixed, particularly Europeans.

Hmm let's consider a group intermixing event, if genetic similarity is correlating with fertility wouldn't that have some effect on introgression of new genetic material? you would expect some sort of natural marginalisation of the introduced genes with only those offering actual benefits noticeably contributing to the population though it would depend on timeframe and generations.

>The size and shape of teeth are strongly inherited characteristics. So too are jaw size and shape… The potential problem arising from too much outbreeding is that the inheritance of teeth and jaw sizes are not correlated. A woman with small jaws and small teeth who had a child by a man with big jaws and big teeth lays down trouble for her grandchildren, some of whom may inherit small jaws and big teeth. In a world without dentists, ill-fitting teeth were probably a serious cause of mortality. This example of mismatching, which is one of many that may arise in the complex integration of the body, simply illustrates the more general cost of outbreeding too much.

I feel like I'm hitting the ability cliff on this one, it feels important but I don't have the knowledge to truly understand the pattern and my attention wavers.

Linton proposed that the fertility effect is to do with protein compatability and referenced a study on sperm from related males being more inclined to cooperate, but I don't know where o look or how that ties into ultimate fertility especially at a population level, though I can see the implications for Haldanes rule and why male sterility and underperformance is an issue as antagonistic heterozygosity increases

is there any relation between the protein shell around a sperm cell and the specific haploid set of chromosomes it carries? is it some some specific relatively small group of gene regions or is it the entire set?
I don't have the background in biology that might give me enough insight, I'm only an agric, we touched on genetics and ecology but mostly from a management perspective, though some of the most important breeders in history that have left their mark eployed high levels of line breeding to achieve fixation of desired phenotypes, usually with a comparatively small nucleus of animals. the big cattle semen companies must have this data especially the way they've become more data focused over recent years, tracking down mastitis related genes and fertility effects, I find it unlikely they would miss something like this if they were looking...but the source breeding pool for a lot of their work is relatively small...and their selection criteria leave a lot to be desired.

It's not quite that simple, it partly explains the crashing birthrates of developed countries. this demographic collapse is likely to have dire consequences, look at Japan's recent policy change of focus hoping to undo the damage potential if its people don't breed.
the social and economic consequences of varying levels of consanguineous marriage are not trivial.

I want to clarify that I don't think going down the Pakistan route of 60+% marrying their first cousins repeatedly is a sane venture as can be seen by these groups' levels of congenital illness, violence, and IQ depression.
But that historical social structures of distant kin marriage seem somewhat optimal for balancing inbreeding against outbreeding depression and the move away from these structures might have greater influence on current social and birthrate trends than initially seems apparent.

This topic seems to me at least somewhat important, so I will probably attempt to compile a pastebin that can be easily shared containing what relevant sources I have come across, I make no promises as I acknowledge my own analytic skills are somewhat primitive.

For example, in one study the more alike human couples were on 17 out of 19 measures of the body (such as forearm length, height and ear length), the more children they had. Although most correlations were positive, each correlation coefficient was low and could, of course, be explained by shared associations between the measures and a third variable such as social class
It's not as good as a descent analysis but it implies something about complimentary genetics.

There are issues with the muslim system.

it may have some contribution but the bigger factor has been dysgenic birth rates.
historically the upper 50% by wealth had 40% more children surviving until adulthood meaning that gradually the population reflects the more successful upper middle class group and slowly purges out the bad genes by pushing them to the very bottom, part of this is a consequence of social policies
another factor that accelerated it it smart women that would otherwise have been phenomenal productive mothers redirected these energies into careers and education instead of into finding a good partner and raising their kids well as had been the absolute necessity through the rest of history.
instead we now have situations where the only group reproducing at above replacement are those where both parents are on welfare.

It was probably a close run thing with serious purging of non compatible gene regions but it was eventually successful, likely because of small bands of kin breeding among themselves, purging deleterious combinations for so many generations then progressing onwards and intermixing with other similar tribes using the advantageous admixtured genes to move into and survive in increasingly more diverse and hostile lands.

This seems to be a pattern consistent even in such distant organisms as insects, fish and plants, it's about the gap between inbreeding and outbreeding depression, what might be called an optimal relatedness and it's consequences seem to have far reaching effects.
the level of outbreeding humanity is currently experiencing on mass has never been experienced before and this field raises some conclusions as to possible consequences such as increased vulnerability to disease challenge in outbred f2 generations or infertility consequences as suggested by Haldane's rule.

The dangers from deleterious inbreeding depression are somewhat overblown when we're dealing with < 3% relatedness but the loss of coadadapted gene complexes seems to have a very real if more subtle effect that people are likely to casually dismiss while not appreciating their implications.

I think I've previously misunderstood something likely quite important to this discussion, it isn't that 3rd cousins are inherently the best it's that your general relatednedness to a partner is similar to that of a 3rd cousin.
That through your various interlinked ancestors your overall relatedness is around that 0.8% of a third cousin, you could literally be tenth cousins at the closest point but share enough common ancestors on all descent paths that overall you have effectively third cousins. it was obviously spelled out by the Iceland graphs earlier but I wasn't paying attention.
This seems like a much more realistic effect size and gives a better explanation of larger breeding populations.

A major reason the Christian west did so well is the church outlawed cousin marriage, which raised the generations iq several points or more over just a few hundred years. This has been well studied.
Also keep in mind this would have much bigger effects in times when most people walked everywhere, and generally lived and died in the greater neighborhood they were born in.

this thread is not arguing for repeated first cousin, there are a number of references to studies of long term close consanguinous marriage (eg Bittles's studies on pakistani communiies) that look at the long term inbreeding depression such as a potential 20% loss of fitness in some traits or even death, however there does seem to be under appreciated danger in excessive outbreeding. this and the social effects of different levels of intermarriage were the main focus of the thread and an little reading up on what might be he mechanism (which seems to be mostly prezygotic compatibility reaching a peak at a certain in/out breeding level). previously the cost of travel and social constraints definitely limited the level of outbreeding.
frankly I find the data on the effect of the church's rules on social structure greatly interesting and would like to read more on the topic if you know some good sources.

I'm willing to argue that at that level of occurrence there must be some possible heterozygous advantage

>“generation,” instead of “creation”.
would you mind expanding on this concept it sounds interesting

I appreciate you curating your topic, the idea of optimal inbreeding is absolutely relevant to IQ, you nonoptimally inbred piece of shit. Inbreeding magnifies certain traits like amish and some african tribes like the pygmies. They certainly won't collapse but their lifestyle isn't enviable. Amish do have a very good family structure and they even still want to welcome a pedophile back. https://www.snapnetwork.org/snap_statements/2010_statements/090310_snap_wants_probe_into_amish_for_hiding_child_sex_crimes.htm
God created things that are good and bad, vs Nature made things. quite simple. We used to think of certain animals as noble, alchemy discovered that noble lion's urine did not contain gold. Interesting how the japanese attitude of "it cannot be helped" is tied into the culture whereas feminists want to smash the patriarchy.

What about the flynn effect? How do you study the IQ of the dead?

If your forefathers only had 2 children you will only have 16 4th cousins. Outbreeding is inevitable.

you know this is why white people have more genetic disorders that they suffer from vs other races.

fun fact the 'greatest" generation had a problem with this shit. hitler and einstein did it. eugenics is funny in that people started doing it with animals based on looks not knowing the consequences genetically. look at dogs. animal husbandry is built around inbreeding and dogs are the worst of the lot in regards to domesticated animals. nobody gives a fuck what a cats breed is its a cat you dumb nigger pet it love it you fucking retard. dogs no people want this breed or that breed and they are 1 step away from being unable to reproduce from inbreeding at any given moment

No, You'd have 256 unique 4th cousins assuming no other shared ancestors if everyone had only 2 kids see the equation here >>11302331
1st = 4
2nd = 16
3rd = 64
4th = 256

and the issue is more about shared relatedness if all your various shared ancestors put you above 0.01% (6h cousin) relatedness then you're likely to conceive more kids than average with the level increasing until inbreeding depression effects kick in, this effect is possibly due to prezygotic membrane compatibility. see>>11363812 &>>11281045

that only applies to poorly bred pets
Working breeds like sheep dogs or police dogs have very professional thorough breeding policies to select only the fittest to breed from.

actually I missed the thrust of your argument, if you did any research at all you'd discover that whites are statistically some of the least inbred, african and muslim countries have instances of of repeated first cousin marriage over 60%
