Exactly! I don't care if that's a thing with royals, it's still disgusting
It biologically sure is! Your genes are suppose to be from a diverse pool. Narrowing n shrinking it down makes one more susceptible to diseases n inborn genetic defects. Most dont live past adulthood lmao. Also the botched up physical features
Not saying its not weird that there are people who actively choose their relatives, i would say that 5th cousins are pretty genetically distinct so any genetic defects have as much chance at cropping up as with any rando lolol
Thats true.. The closer they are the more risk it is for babies. Well defects dont always arise 100% in babies from 1st cousins but sometimes there are cases of heriditary issues in babies from distant cousins..ultimately its all genetic probability lol n luck i'd say but still its best n responsible to not marry your cousins
Their family tree is a circle lmfao. As someone with a masters in genetics i cant help but flinch whenevr i see how close the relatives are getting married or engaged. I knoe its fiction and its funny but remembering how the habsburgs n egyptians n almost all of european royalty genepool goes bcuz of generational incestual inbreeding i cant help but cringe a little but ig its fiction so its fine luca's descendants wont end up with grotesque jaws or abnormalities
