this only matters if those populations were small enough that they'd be forced to inbreed at some point, and that the populations will not grow past that point later. Sure if you have 10 eligible mates in the population then pretty quickly you run out of possibilities and someone is going to have to sleep with someone related to them by a few generations back or so, but if you have 100 by the time anyone is forced to sleep with someone at some point related to them the inbreeding will be so distant as to be inconsequential. Sleeping with someone who shares a Great Great Great Grandmother doesn't really matter too much from a genetic standpoint. |
I can appreciate that.
All it took was a straight answer, it's all I was asking for.
You're a smart guy tor, but Runa said it would be like Einstein having to explain to a kid. Was it really that hard and was my question really that stupid?
This all ties back to OP. In the mean time I got food for thought, which is good, but it's a pity it took so long to make it here having to go through all kinds of branches and accusations before making it to my actual questions and concerns.
That's my answer to OP, e.g. I wish there were more people behaving like Tor from the opposite current of thought (opposite from mine, which is a creationist background) and less people behaving like dsgrue and yes, Runa (his bad side).
