    I know for a fact that she married her cousin to begin with, so inbreeding is not questionable already. What I didn’t know was that Kate and William being distant cousins only because media painted her as a “commoner”. But then again, the did the same with Diana when she married Charles even though Diana came from the Spencer family.

      Straight up because Diana was "illegitimate" on one side of her tree and she wasn't so obedient, therefore not as loyal which is bad if you aren't related entirely. Then she was killed. Goes to show how badly they want to keep that inbred lineage. I wouldn't be surprised if something happened to Kate if she has any illegitimacy in her lines.

My mom's parents are related about 14 generations back, and her mom's mom's parents are also related about 14 generations back. It's wild, so tangled and hurts my brain. I'm the 17th generation away from King James IV so I guess I'm a micro-percent related to the queen! I'm as far away from King James IV as Prince William's kids!

      Gengish did have a lot of children, but if he had that many no one knows. They’ve never been able to confirm that he’s really the progenitor of all this dna, and some dna tests of his supposed relatives living today suggests he might not be. But the sad thing is that we don’t have access to his remains for conclusive dna testing.
      He’s mostly the prime suspect because historians and scientists don’t know who else would have the opportunity to go at it like he did.

    The emphasis is always on inbreeding in royal (or aristocratic) families. But what about us commoners? If our ancestors lived in a small village in a not densely populated area, the pool of potential mates would be relatively small, even if there were other small villages within walking or riding distance. It's possible that most young people would marry in their own village or nearby ones that had much the same gene pool. So if they were able to trace their ancestors back more than a few generations, they'd be related, and probably via more than one marriage. Populations (particularly in rural areas) didn't become particularly mobile until well into the 18th century or even the 19th. And don't forget that in many countries there was still a feudal system (e.g., France) or serfdom (e.g., Russia) that tied rural populations to the land, so chances of finding a mate with no common ancestry were slim.

    • @Bolteus
      @Bolteus Před 2 lety +90

      Seems a particularly common situation in the US where you get entire towns that were founded by literally a handful of people, and has since lead to widespread medical problems in many places. It's rough. I remember reading Iceland had a dating app which deliberately tried to avoid matching people too closely related because the population there is so low and interconnected.
