And/or Noah…
Did you marry your long lost cousin?

- Start date
I'm an agnostic, so by adam/eve I mean the first homo sapiens. But if I"m wrong, then yes Noah and his wife.
Don't want to start anuthing but a surprisingly high percentage of have another father than the head of the family....
A few hunderd years ago if you lived in a small town in Italy [for example] you would most likely reproduce with some one close to your town.
So that's what they meant by "dark ages"
I have a small chunk of DNA on chromosome 15 from my dad's side. That small chunk of DNA is shared with around 10% of my matches on My Heritage, most of which are from Finland...and most of those Finnish matches seem to be 2nd or 3rd cousins to each other.
My Heritage also says I'm in a genetic group which seems to be close to where my mom was born in Germany.
Whoa. Wait.
I have this tiny hunk of DNA from Finland and NONE of my living relatives know anything about having relations with those kind of people.
Pretty much. Makes you wonder for how many generations a chunk of DNA can be passed along.
I've read that some DNA seems to be more likely to be passed along and some is less likely, and it doesn't seem to be random like you might think.

All humans on earth are at the most 23rd cousins of each other. Maybe that stone age tribe on North Sentinel Island is an exception.
I'm secure in my paternity. This is what happens with a 1/4 Irish, English, French, German, marries a 50/50 Irish/Italian - you get all colors under the rainbow.Don't want to start anuthing but a surprisingly high percentage of have another father than the head of the family....

In most states, 2nd cousins can marry.
The f-upped relationship age is now, not back then, even if they were marrying cousins. That nuclear bomb is yet to manifest its full effect.
People commonly marrying cousins years back was not so bad. At least they knew which gender they were.
I am becoming less and less concerned about world population growth because the way we are going these days the human species is doomed. Every developed country has a fertility rate well below 2 and a growing number of them don't even know whether they are a boy or a girl. If it's natures self correcting mechanism then I'm impressed and we have nothing to worry about on the over population score.
