@angelmendez-rivera351 4 года назад

Alex Tayla I don't think that last idea made any sense at all. I think the only solution that is capable of preserving the consistency and simplicity of this systematic scheme is to simply not consider yourself a cousin of any kind relative to yourself. There is no reason to do otherwise. It makes sense to talk about everyone else who is not you as having a level of cousinality relative to you, but it makes no sense to talk about your level of cousinality relative to yourself, because, well, for obvious reasons.

@bobbbbEE 4 года назад

If you're the same age, your removal number shouldn't be very large because it depends on the difference in generations. The cousin number is more likely to be very large because that is dependent on how far back your common ancestor is

@emitain8408 4 года назад

I'MDEprEssEdaNDqUIrkY Same as me. But as in Chinese culture some of the people that Americans would know as cousins (children of aunts and uncles) are known as siblings, I became an uncle to two children (who I know of) by age 10.

We can consider uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces (one's parents' siblings and one's siblings' children respectively) collectively as their "siblings once removed", one's granduncles, grandaunts, grandnephews and grandnieces (one's grandparents' siblings and one's siblings' grandchildren) as their "siblings twice removed", etc. I prefer to think of it that way.

@legendarypft2124 4 года назад

I have cousins who are double first cousins due to my dads brother and mothers sister having children. Not sure how rare that is but I haven't met anyone else who has this. Genetically they are as related to be as a half sibling would be 25%. Also the removed thing is something i have knowing about but mostly everyone just calls the children of their cousin or their parents cousin their 2nd cousin. Probably cause its simpler and easier to say.

If your siblings are your zeroth cousins, and you’re your own zeroth cousin. You are your own sibling

@angelmendez-rivera351 4 года назад

AtomicBreakdown Yes, technically, in a way, at least if you were to assume that that makes sense. However, I would argue it doesn't quite make sense anyway. You see, your siblings, a.k.a your zeroth cousins, have zero removal from you, and share 50% of their genealogical DNA with you. You share 100% of your own genealogical DNA. As Michael argued, you could be considered your own 0th cousin as well, but then this means your level of removal would have to change in order for the genetic mathematics the system is based on to be consistent. So, would you be "negatively once removed" from yourself? Would that make any sense? It is just unclear to me how that could work out.

@angelmendez-rivera351 4 года назад

After thinking about it longer, I realized you would end up having to be your own (-1)st cousin in order for this all to work. Actually, to be more accurate, you are your (-1/2)th cousin. Yeah, get a load of that. But I guess that's just how the maths work out.

@alansun70 2 месяца назад

The lowest degree is 1st. The higher the degree, the more distant the relation. Siblings aren't cousins of any type.

@windhelmguard5295 6 лет назад

here is why a timeline in which time travel is invented, can never persist: when one does indeed travel through time, one changes the future ever so slightly, doing thos once or twice will likely not make any significant changes, but as those changes become more neumerous, the timeline in which time travel is invented stops and can only continue once one such change causes time travel to not be invented, at which point the timeline becomes stable and mostly cohesive once again. some philosophers toyed with the idea that strange phenomena, out of place technologies in archeological finds, doppelgängers and other similar phenomena, are remnants of such self ending time travel experiments.

@felipevasconcelos6736 6 лет назад

If small changes that time travelers make can mess things up so badly, so can our changes, but we are usually not being extremely careful to avoid accidentally stepping on the wrong ant and preventing time travel’s invention. If time travel is possible, then there is a possibility that it is accidentally discovered in exactly two days, three hours, fourteen minutes and forty-two seconds, and every single action we execute is either contributing or hurting our chances.

@rapmastac1362 4 года назад

Part of my family was adopted by a cousin (car accident leaving 4 kids with no mother or father), so the whole thing has been taken to another level. I was told that my cousins are about my age and my aunts and uncles are about 5 or more years older than me. This helps a lot as that part of the family is LDS and has grown signficantly. The Catholic side of my family has one or two kids (Maybe, if any at all) and are very easy to keep track of. For one reason or another, I tend to hang out and relate more with my aunts and uncles than I do with my cousins.
