You are as I saw it, first a science teacher.

Does inbreeding actually cause genetic damage?

Or does inbreeding only increase the risk for recessive genes being on both chromosomes and therefore surfacing?

Would you mind linking to some genetic study on this matter?

  • Schizophrenia rates are fairly worthless measures of anything, since the diagnosis is fairly worthless, except as an instrument of bullying someone.

    It so happens, if someone is from a family with first cousin marriages in the ancestry, he probably shares other traits than genes with them, culturally, and that may be part of a culture certain doctors want to bully.

    I am not speaking most of Muslims, I am speaking at least as much or more of Gipsies and of Ozark country bumpkins.

    The condition of the banjo player is likely to be caused in a real life situation (the film can reflect prejudices) by mother being old at conception rather than inbreeding.

  • If Denmark BOTH has many Muslims illiterate AND many Muslims fail military intelligence test, they probably failed the test due to illiteracy, which is a cultural trait, not a genetic one.


So, can you link to a genetics' study saying such and such a flawed gene was caused by inbreeding rather than occasioned as surfaced condition due to it?

And, please, the bleeder's disease or hemophilia of the Czar's family is not relevant. One X chromosome will make it surface on a man who has exactly one X chromosome, since the other one is a Y chromosome. And it was the son of Nicolas II, not a daughter, who had hemophilia.

@Uncas Unga Me?

Why so?

In order to speak of inbreeding in the case of the bleeder's disease, one would need to be talking of a daughter, who both had an X chromosome with the mutation from her mother and the sole X chromosome of her father also with the mutation, and both descending from Victoria.

Pointing out scientific facts makes me a fake? How?

II
2:44 "a crime against the next generation"

I recall that was part of Hitler's agenda to have eugenics pushed because not having it would be that, according to him.

Note, I am not saying a "Fascist" agenda, since most Fascist régimes were too good for this. Hitler's wasn't.

III
Note, I most certainly do not say this as a Muslim, but as a Catholic.

Note also, we Catholics may abhor eugenics, but we discourage first cousin marriages for other reasons.

In order to reduce "clannish" social behaviour.

If, as a Catholic, I'd try to marry a first cousin, I just might get the Pope's dispensation, like Henry VIII got one to marry his brother's widow.

But that roundabout is how it would be to get that done.

As the present Pope - the real one, Pope Michael - is US American and shares some biasses with you, I don't think it very likely he would give such a dispensation.

I am also not involved that way with a first cousin, while I have a pretty one, she's married to someone else.


When Royal Inbreeding Went Horribly Wrong

I
1:47 Tutankhamon is not a very clearcut case, since it is difficult to see what other factors could have been involved.

Plus Egyptian pharaos are less well documented outside own persons than even Roman Emperors from Caesar to Constantine, especially after the Julian dynasty. This is too little documentation to make conclusions about "children of".

II
2:59 "It wasn't even thought he would survive, as little George" III "came out two months prematurely."

Considering George as mad is a fairly common meme in some circles.

He abolished slavery while the guys over in US were all for keeping it, so that economic "madness" (repeated by Lincoln, someone very unlike the other George - Washington - only several decades later, who knows, if Jefferson Davis had won, perhaps Lincoln would have been declared mad too).

So, madness of George III is also dismissed from case, as not clearly certified.

3:08 "The house of Hanover was notorious for cousin to cousin marriage, sometimes first cousin, sometimes second or third."

This can be checked.

Btw, if true, this is not totally surprising, since they were Protestants, since Catholicism was forbidding first cousin marriages and I think even second cousin marriages, and so a Protestant would have wanted to show he was not respecting Catholic "traditions of men".

Spurgeon thought he was not just obliged to celebrate Christmas, but actually obliged to NOT celebrate Christmas. Hanovers can have thought they had an obligation to favour first cousin marriages.

What does a son of a first cousin marriage look like in Sosa-Stradonitz terms?

Well, parents, 2 and 3 (himself or herself being one) are distinct. His grandparents, 4 - 7, are distinct. BUT his great grandparents, 8 - 15, theoretically 8 different people are six or perhaps even four different people (if the parents were doubly first cousins).

If 2 is first cousin with 3, then either 4 or 5 is sibling with either 6 or 7, meaning either 8 and 9 or 10 and 11 are same persons as either 12 and 13 or 14 and 15.

So, George III as 1, his parents as 2 and 3, their parents as four diverse persons 4 to 7.

THEIR parents would involve less than 8 diverse persons.

  • 1) George III (George William Frederick; 4 June 1738[c] – 29 January 1820)

  • 2) Frederick, Prince of Wales, KG (Frederick Lewis; 1 February 1707 – 31 March 1751)
  • 3) Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (30 November 1719 – 8 February 1772) was Princess of Wales by marriage to Frederick, Prince of Wales.

  • 4) George II (George Augustus; German: Georg II. August; 30 October / 9 November 1683O.S./N.S. – 25 October 1760)
  • 5) Caroline of Brandenburg-Ansbach (Wilhelmina Charlotte Caroline; 1 March 1683 – 20 November 1737[1])
  • 6) Frederick II, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (28 July 1676, in Gotha – 23 March 1732, in Altenburg)
  • 7) Princess Magdalena Augusta of Anhalt-Zerbst (13 October 1679 – 11 October 1740) was, by birth, a Princess of Anhalt-Zerbst and, by marriage, a Duchess of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg


Now, were the parents of George III first cousins? Should show in next generation back, 8-15.

  • 8) George I (George Louis; German: Georg Ludwig; 28 May 1660 – 11 June 1727)
  • 9) Sophia Dorothea of Celle (15 September 1666 – 13 November 1726) was the repudiated wife of future King George I of Great Britain, and mother of George II. The union with her first cousin was an arranged marriage of state, instigated by the machinations of his mother, Sophia of Hanover. (So, George II, grandfather of George III was son of two first cousins)
  • 10) John Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach (18 October 1654 – 22 March 1686) succeeded his father Albert II as margrave of Ansbach in 1667.
  • 11) Princess Eleonore Erdmuthe Louise of Saxe-Eisenach (13 April 1662 – 9 September 1696), was a German princess member of the House of Wettin and through her two marriages was Margravine of Brandenburg-Ansbach (from 1681 to 1686) and Electress of Saxony (from 1692 to 1694).


That the first four are distinct is not surprising. We'll see if the second four coincide with either of above.

  • 12) Frederick I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (15 July 1646 Gotha, Duchy of Saxe-Gotha – 2 August 1691 Friedrichswerth), was a duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg.
  • 13) Magdalena Sibylle of Saxe-Weissenfels (2 September 1648 – 7 January 1681) was a German noblewoman.
  • 14) Charles William, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst (German: Karl Wilhelm, 16 October 1652, in Zerbst – 3 November 1718, in Zerbst), was a German prince of the House of Ascania and ruler of the principality of Anhalt-Zerbst.
  • 15) Sophia of Saxe-Weissenfels (also: Sophie; 23 June 1654 in Halle an der Saale – 31 March 1724 in Zerbst) was a member of the Albertine branch of the House of Wettin, and a princess of Saxe-Weissenfels and Querfurt by birth and by marriage Princess of Anhalt-Zerbst.


So, George III was not born of a first cousin marriage. What about a second cousin marriage? Then one ancestor couple from 16 to 23 should coincide with one from 24 to 31.

  • 16) Ernest Augustus (German: Ernst August; 20 November 1629 – 23 January 1698) was a Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and ruled over the Principality of Calenberg (with its capital Hanover) subdivision of the duchy. He was appointed Prince-elector, but died before the appointment became effective. He was also the Prince-Bishop of the Prince-Bishopric of Osnabrück.
  • 17) Sophia of Hanover (born Sophia of the Palatinate; 14 October 1630 – 8 June 1714[2]) was the Electress of Hanover from 1692 to 1698. As a granddaughter of James I, she became heir presumptive to the crowns of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Ireland under the Act of Settlement 1701. After the Acts of Union 1707, she became heir presumptive to the unified throne of the Kingdom of Great Britain. She died less than two months before she would have become queen succeeding her first cousin once removed, Queen Anne, and her claim to the throne passed on to her eldest son, George Louis, Elector of Hanover, who ascended as George I on 1 August 1714 (Old Style).
  • 18) George William German: Georg Wilhelm (Herzberg am Harz, 26 January 1624 – 28 August 1705, Wienhausen) was Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. He ruled first over the Principality of Calenberg, a subdivision of the duchy, then over the Lüneburg subdivision. In 1689, he occupied the Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg and passed it on to his successors.
  • 19) Éléonore Marie Desmier d'Olbreuse (3 January 1639 – 5 February 1722) was the wife of George William, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. She was Countess of Wilhelmsburg from 1674 and Duchess of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1676.
  • 20) Albert II or V of Brandenburg-Ansbach (18 September 1620 – 22 October 1667) was a German prince, who was Margrave of Ansbach from 1634 until his death.
  • 21) Sophie Margarete of Oettingen-Oettingen
  • 22) Johann Georg I, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach (Weimar, 12 July 1634 – hunting accident, Eckhartshausen, Marksuhl, 19 September 1686).
  • 23) Johannetta of Sayn-Wittgenstein (27 August 1632 – 28 September 1701), was Sovereign Countess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn-Altenkirchen from 1648 to 1701. She was also Landgravine of Hesse-Braubach by marriage to John, Landgrave of Hesse-Braubach, and Duchess of Saxe-Marksuhl (later Saxe-Eisenach) by marriage to John George I, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach.


Someone coinciding with above in following?

  • 24) Ernest I, called "Ernest The Pious" (Altenburg, Duchy of Saxe-Weimar 25 December 1601 – Schloss Friedenstein, Gotha, 26 March 1675), was a duke of Saxe-Gotha and Saxe-Altenburg. The duchies were later merged into Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg.
  • 25) Elisabeth Sophie of Saxe-Altenburg (Halle, 10 October 1619 – Gotha, 20 December 1680), was a princess of Saxe-Altenburg and, by marriage, duchess of Saxe-Gotha.
  • 26) Augustus of Saxe-Weissenfels (Dresden, 13 August 1614 – 4 June 1680, Halle), was a Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels-Querfurt of the House of Wettin and administrator of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg.
  • 27) Anna Maria of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (Schwerin, 1 July 1627 – Halle, 11 December 1669) was a German noblewoman, a member of the House of Mecklenburg and by marriage Duchess of Saxe-Weissenfels.
  • 28) John VI of Anhalt-Zerbst (Zerbst, 24 March 1621 – Zerbst, 4 July 1667), was a German prince of the House of Ascania and ruler of the principality of Anhalt-Zerbst.
  • 29) Sophie Augusta of Holstein-Gottorp (5 December 1630 in Gottorp – 12 December 1680 in Coswig) was regent of Anhalt-Zerbst in during the minority of her son from 1667 until 1674.
  • 30 = 26
  • 31 = 27


No, George I had no second cousins as parents, but he had first cousins among his grandparents, 26-27 being parents of 13, wife of 12, and therefore grandparents of 6, 30-31 being parents of 15, wife of 14, therefore grandparents of 7, who was obviously wife of six.

So, both grandparent couples were cousin marriages, but it was not 4-5 that was a first cousin one, it was 6-7.

He was forced to abdicate both roles, and the brevity of his reign in Bohemia earned him the derisive nickname of "the Winter King" (Czech: Zimní král; German: Winterkönig).
  • 35) Elizabeth Stuart (19 August 1596 – 13 February 1662) was Electress of the Palatinate and briefly Queen of Bohemia as the wife of Frederick V of the Palatinate. Due to her husband’s reign in Bohemia lasting for just one winter, Elizabeth is often referred to as the "Winter Queen".

So, in the generation of 64 ancestors, there are 46 non-coinciding persons, 2 coinciding with 2 in the generation of 32 ancestors, and 16 coinciding with other posts in same generation. Not too inbred, I would say.

[I had missed that 2 more coincided with 2 in the next generation, 88 and 89 = 48 and 49.]

"The diagnosis that George III suffered from acute porphyria has gained widespread acceptance,but re-examination of the evidence suggests it is unlikely that he had porphyria.The porphyria diagnosis was advanced by Ida Macalpine and Richard Hunter, whose clinical symptomatology and historical methodology were flawed.They highlighted selected symptoms, while ignoring, dismissing or suppressing counter-evidence.Their claims about peripheral neuropathy, cataracts, vocal hoarseness and abdominal pains are re-evaluated; and it is also demonstrated that evidence of discoloured urine is exceedingly weak. Macalpine and Hunter believed that mental illnesses were primarily caused by physical diseases, and their diagnosis of George III formed part of a wider agenda to promote controversial views about past, contemporary and future methods in psychiatry."

Other cases of porphyria in his family?

It would perhaps be William IV or Mary Queen of Scots, but the latter is definitely subject to debate, and the former may have been in an attempt to confirm the perhaps fake finding of Ida Macalpine and Richard Hunter.

3:11 - 3:19 "It was happening all over Europe, with one essayist in 1802 writing that 'every hereditary monarch in Europe was insane.' "

Could it so happen that this essayist was biassed against hereditary monarchs?

Why is his name not given? Would his bias have been too obvious if identity were known?

Charles II

"Charles II of Spain (Spanish: Carlos II; 6 November 1661 – 1 November 1700), also known as El Hechizado or the Bewitched, was the last Habsburg ruler of the Spanish Empire. He is now best remembered for his physical disabilities, believed to be the result of inbreeding, and the war for his throne that followed his death."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_II_of_Spain

Even so, just believed, and here the inbreeding is indeed notable, since his father's sister was mother to his mother. Uncle and niece, as correctly observed.

7:10 Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia

Mother Alix of Hesse
(whose) Mother Princess Alice of the United Kingdom
(whose) Mother Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom

Indeed, he descended from Queen Victoria.

However, there is no actual inbreeding involved. All who actually got haemophilia from her were men.

Leopold, his grandson Rupert His grandnephews by Alice, the brothers Waldemar and Henry, their uncle Frederick, his other nephew Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia. His nephews by Beatrice, the brothers Leopold and Maurice, and their nephews Alfonso and Gonzalo.

While haemophilia is recessive in women, it is dominant in men who only have one X chromosome.

Inbreeding would have involved one haemophiliac man marrying a woman descended from Queen Victoria and getting daughters who were haemophiliac, because their father's X chromosome was added to another version of Victoria's sick X chromosome.

This never actually happened.

I think I made a follow up comment, on how asking why the royals who married descendants of Queen Victoria didn't find someone else to marry was actually not about saying no to inbreeding, but about saying no to marriage with a certain line, meaning that it would be (if applied) a total ban on female descendants of Queen Victoria (in straight female line) to marry anyone.

This is therefore (if thought through) a ban on marriage, for some, and as such falls under the observation of St Paul.

1st Epistle of St Paul to Timothy
Chapter 4 verses 1 to 3:
http://drbo.org/chapter/61004.htm


Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils, Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared, Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth.

I am concerned if someone deleted that.

8:15 I looked up Maria I of Portugal.

Grandparents were John V of Portugal and Philip V of Spain.

Of the latter, it is a theory that he had mental troubles, it is not a firmly established fact.

Of the former, even the theory seems to be difficult to find on the first page of a google. He suffered from a stroke, that is something different.

And crying and howling over the death of children is hardly a sign of real madness, but is rather a sign of being a woman.

She married an uncle? Possible. Her children's genes have not been involved in the question. The ones who died, died from smallpox. That's not genetical. One of her sons married an aunt? Well, we are told nothing of the effect of that.

"Maria's madness was first officially noticed in 1786, when Maria had to be carried back to her apartments in a state of delirium. Afterward, the queen's mental state became increasingly worse. In May 1786, her husband died; Maria was devastated and forbade any court entertainments. According to a contemporary,[who?] state festivities began to resemble religious ceremonies. Her condition worsened after the death of her eldest son (and heir-apparent), aged 27, from smallpox, and of her confessor, in 1791. In February 1792, she was deemed mentally insane and was treated by Francis Willis, the same physician who attended King George III of Great Britain."

In other words, in the age of Enlightenment a Catholic woman who is dismayed by grief and starts behaving a Catholic can be deemed "insane" and on top of that have as a doctor one Francis Willis who is the son of a Protestant "Reverend".

So, no, it cannot be established that she was mad.

Also, the claim both her grandfathers were, while more than just somewhat dubious, is not a plea against inbreeding, it is once again a plea for eugenics, for banning certain lines from propagating.

In other words, once again, it is a question of I Timothy 4:3.

9:31 So, Saudi Arabia is getting to the forefront to "combat" the evils of inbreeding.

This could be bad news, it could be, Peninsular Arabs are a bad stock to start with and now want to start outbreeding.

While it is a right supposing they can find willing brides, it is also coinciding with a tendency in Western countries to discourage staying with Westerners and encourage all to date at least one non-Westerner to show "inclusiveness".

10:26 I think, taking spouses far from circle of kin, but within circle of primarily religion, then class and nation, is generally a good idea.

I think however, the risks are (at least for Europe) overestimated.

One should definitely not ban marriages of kins who are canonically allowed to marry.

That said, once the Church actually did forbid anything closer than seven generations from common ancestor on shortest line.

This led to getting trouble for many getting a spouse at all, and therefore to several dispensations, and it had to be abandoned.
