Comment on why do rich people like marrying their cousins so much?

It’s more useful to list what percent of genes you should share

That and the likelihood of common negative recessive genes are really the most important thing about cousin fucking.

I’m not a geneticist, but you really have to think about the birthday paradox here. You have how many genes, and how many are recessive? The odds of a collision are probably way more than you’d think.

Anyways, please don’t reproduce with your cousins, until they’re so distant you no longer have a vocabulary to describe it.
