Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Marriage of Near Kin: Considered With Respect to the Laws of Nations, the Results of Biology
I. Whether consanguineous marriages are themselves, by the mere fact Of consanguinity, and irrespective Of any in heritance, injurious to the Offspring. Whether, in a marriage between two relatives who are both perfectly healthy, live under healthy conditions, and whose families are perfectly healthy, the children born will probably be unhealthy?
II. Whether consanguineous marriages give a greater proportion Of unhealthy children than non-consanguineous marriages; or, in other words, whether it is a fact that con sanguineous marriages, through intensification of a previously dormant hereditary family taint, give a greater proportion of unhealthy children?

Excerpt from The Marriage of Near Kin: Considered With Respect to the Laws of Nations, the Results of Biology
Though many writers have treated on the subject of consanguineous marriage, from many points of view, no one has hitherto come forward with a generalization of their work, which lies scattered and buried in a mass of pamphlets and periodical literature, difficult to hear of, difficult to find, and requiring considerable time and thought to digest. The consequence has been that people have been unable to judge of the relative value of the various observations they may read or make, and from a want of the necessary perspective are liable to draw wholly wrong and sometimes ridiculous conclusions.
In this work the author has endeavoured to gather together everything of importance that has been written upon the subject; to arrange and classify it, to weigh the evidence on either side, to reject what is worthless, and point out the value of what remains. In this investigation he has attempted to divest himself of all prejudice, whether of tradition or custom, which might tend to warp his judgment, and has, therefore, often found himself obliged to treat as debatable, assumptions which inveterate association has rightly made shameful to doubt, but which, undisturbed, would make the discovery of truth impossible.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins and evolution of marriage laws, challenging the widely held belief that prohibitions on consanguineous marriages stem from concerns about genetic harm. The author presents compelling evidence that these restrictions have historically been rooted in social and cultural factors rather than biological ones. Offering a nuanced analysis of marriage practices across different societies and time periods, the book traces the development of exogamy (marrying outside one's group) and the gradual emergence of prohibited degrees of kinship. By examining historical accounts, anthropological observations, and statistical data, the author argues that consanguineous marriages do not inherently lead to negative outcomes for offspring and that the stigma surrounding them is largely unfounded. This thought-provoking work sheds light on the complex interplay between genetics, culture, and the evolution of human societies, offering valuable insights for policymakers, social scientists, and anyone interested in the history of marriage and family. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
