Imbredity (is that a word) is bad

[brooksieb]

I'm not talking about people in the same families having children together, i'm talking about only one race mixing together is bad....

Take the Bengalis and different african tribes for example, they do not mix with other races that much so are generally Inbred, which is why they have not progressed very well.

Take Europe and parts of asia, after conquering eachother numerous times they started to mix with each other (e.g. the normans and anglo saxons) creating a better gene pool with fresh people to stop inbredity, this can be shown by the means to progress in technology, shown in todays Europe and america (some asian countries included).

Take the black people living in the western world, they have mixed with each tribe in the americas creating a better gene pool thus making them alot smarter, i don't believe your' colour represents your' intelligence but more of different groups being inbred will effect the gene pool making it worse off because no new fresh genes are coming into the DNA.

Of course there are exeptions and i'm not saying all people that are inbred are not intelligent i'm just saying being inbred can limit a nations/race chances of moving on and advancing.

Skin colour does not mean anything, but being inbred does...

Pot, kettle?

Of course it's capital-b Bad. You generally want a larger gene pool...

Though I'm not sure about any tribal customs in Africa, I do know that it's a pretty fucking huge continent, with tons of different races/peoples that have migrated throughout history, and thus there's a huge gene pool. I guarantee that they mostly cross-breed, for lack of a better term, and thus the gene pool has ample size.

Also: Japan has always been rather isolationist, they keep to themselves pretty much. And yet they are pretty advanced, no? It's just not that simple.

Yes, seems size of population is very important. Not so much race.

Japan wasn't always like that.

Japan got guns from the Portugese, after which they became expansionist (temporarily) and during that period of time, caught up to most of the world.

In the modern day, its not so much about inbreeding, but what you can get.

Thank you for the history lesson.

Culturally, Japan has always been "like that". You don't see many Japanese having kids with others in Japan itself -- they always leave.

I recall reading that the population of the average African tribal village displays a larger genetic variance than an equally large random sample of people from over Europe. This has reinforced the theory that it was a very small group of people that originally moved into Europe.

Im... imbredity... I like it.

[brooksieb]

Like some rednecks are very inbred, which is why some of them have gone very stupid.

I'm not saying all different tribes in africa are bad, only the ones that isolate themselves, the Amerindians in S. America are the worst for this.

I am in full support of the coining of this word. I actually used to to describe some people on Halo today...

Which word? He actually used the right word in that post.

Right... it's just your post quoted a post where brooksie used the right word... so it didn't make too much sense.

It happens.

Lab mice do as well. Gotta keep that genetically identical stock.
