Most Inbred Countries 

I remember that documentary. It was chilling to think that these people continue the practice only because their community tells them to and tradition must be upheld.

I remember watching it too. Btw in Pakistan it's pretty normal to marry your cousins and I've seen so many cases of people suffering from diseases as a result of inbreeding. This topic in itself is a taboo and if you were to talk about you'd be considered a strange person. These people would rather let their future generations suffer than fix something.

Ems4884, you are 100% correct. The fact that he refers to this as disgusting shows that he isn't that intelligent and likes to pass on "facts " he had heard, and not true facts. Thanks for intersecting some truth.

It's an interesting thing, to be sure. We all know the stories of Victorian Era aristocrats and the horrific inbreeding all the way up to the Romanovs, but Israelis are super inbred and also some of the smartest people in the world. It's almost like the inbreeding helps them. I expected Israel in this list. But I was surprised that Japan was not here on this list. The Japanese seem to really dislike foreigners, and most Asians seem REALLY inbred to the point where they look like aliens. But they too are known for being very intelligent. And why are the U.K. countries not on this list? The amount of inbreeding there has got to be insane....but I guess the list was only the top ten and was filled up with Muslim countries. Some inbred dogs are really smart, like purebred Collies or Corgies. Why is that? Indians seem quite often to be not at all inbred, with the British influence producing a half and half mix that has lent itself to these gorgeous curvy women. That's what most of these countries really need....some sort of exchange program. As an American man, I would gladly trade all of the American women for the displaced Ukrainian ones. Haha But seriously, such a thing would be fantastic for future generations. There are no more Vikings to do it; a world-wide exchange program would have great benefit. There should at least be some sort of global approval for pairing up with a spouse from another culture, just as there should be a stigma against pairing up with relatives.

Your parents being separate doesn’t protect you from that. If they had inbred ancestors, you’ll likely still experience at least some of that. Also, instead of saying “her stupid blobfish daughter”, you can say “my stupid blobfish cousin”, which changes the mindset.

"stupid blobfish" 🤣🤣🤣

@@adurpandya2742 or "our stupid blobfish cousin"

Pakistani here as well, can confirm -- cousin marriage is TOO prevalent in PK society. My own uncle and aunt are first cousins, as an example, and they have a child with a horrible disorder of metabolism, that poor thing. His parents however still fail to recognize why this might have happened, instead choosing to believe that it could have happened anyways. Which it could have, yes, but the chances of which would have been much, much smaller no doubt.

I've heard a "theory" on that recently, brought to the forefront by what's going on lately. The prevelent inbreedign in islam is why they are so violent. This will get censored, but I coudl care less anymore.

America was kinda special. California was basically populated by all the scum rushing there after the gold miners money in hundreds to one ratios of men than women. The Indian ran wild and afraid.

But that's because Khazar jews weren't originally Jews (or Hebrews). Khazaria converted to Judaism around late 900s AD due to political tensions from it's Muslim and Christian neighbors. The Khazar didn't need to carry the Jewish "tradition" of marrying within families since the whole Khazaria became Jewish. Now the offshoots of Khazar Jews that later became what we know as Ashkenazi is another question. They practice(d) heavy interbreading.

What's interesting was that the Turks didn't start out sedentary but they didn't seemed to obsess about "keeping it in the family" as much as the other mentioned ethnic groups. Is there a study if steppe groups also didn't have plenty of inbreeding?

@@nunyabiznes33 I'm not well-versed in Turkic culture and history, but I don't think what you're saying is entirely accurate. There are still Turkic tribes in Iran, for instance, such as the Qashqai tribe, who almost exclusively marry their own cousins. My own family is a descendant of the Turkic Aq-Qoyunlu tribe and, although we've become completely urbanized and detribalized since the time of my great-grandfather, we've still kept semi-alive some of the customs and traditions of our ancestors, such as having a slight preference for marriage between cousins. Turks were originally just as tribal as Arabs, and just like other nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples, they did have a preference for keeping marriages within the tribe, and some still do to this day. Turks of Turkey aren't particularly inbred today because they're genetically largely the same Anatolians of three thousand years ago. They only got linguistically Turkified, not genetically or culturally. The Anatolians, instead of adopting the tribal practices of their Turkic overlords, assimilated _them_ into their own sedentary lifestyle. You could say the reverse happened in Levant and Mesopotamia, where the native sedentary populations gradually adopted the tribalism of their Arab overlords.

⁠@@lambert801 You seem to be mistaken about modern Turks, native Anatolians most definitely accepted Turkic culture, and Turkic culture itself did not condone incest. You'd find that most nomadic groups tried to avoid incest as much as possible, unless they had adopted religions that allowed or even endorsed incest, like the Persian Zoroastrianism. This is definitely far more complicated.

Dude pashtuns are nowhere near half of Pakistan's population. Punjabis and Sindhis still inbreed a lot, it isn't just pashtuns.

Canadians doctors know this, Canadians of French Canadian decent have a tendency to inherent certain illnessness. Genetically High Cholestral, and Cystic Fibrosis are some of the illnessness. Its called the founder effect and its because Quebec was cut off from the world for about 150 yrs. People had large families and intermarried. It has nothing to do with recent immigration.

The amount it costs the British medical system, for example, has been studied and it's 'way out of line. A British Baroness who is Muslim has spoken about this publicly.

yes muslims speak out about it because it isn't an islamic thing, it's a cultural thing very common in south asia.

I was born there, and half of my relatives are there. In the southern and western and eastern less populous parts of Utah where the descendants of the 1840's - 1860's pioneers settled, there was of course some inbreeding, and is still a problem in remote areas/towns. What the video maker guy did not mention by name is/are the various Indian tribes in the U.S. especially in Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada {[ Which also have higher amounts of L.D.S./Mormons that most States]} On the first map that he showed in dark red are Hopi, Ute, Navajo, Apache, Shoshone, Paiute, Pima and Papago tribes, often living on tribal lands.

Nah, this is a poorly researched video. In 2019, the journal Nature published a study backed by genetic evidence that 1 out of every 3,650 people in the UK is likely to be the result of “extreme inbreeding” between close relatives. Extreme inbreeding is defined as 1 or 2 degrees relatives, meaning parent-child or siblings. Not even first cousins, which is a fourth degree of consanguinity, Now this is very disgusting.

the trouble is, when you look at ACTUAL heredity as opposed to believed heredity, about 10% of people in the UK don't have the biological father they thought they did, rising to 20% in some liverpool council estates apparently. And as we discovered, my maternal grandfather didn't have the mother we thought he did as after my randparents died my Mum found out he was brought up by his aunt instead of his mum as his mum was not married.

Mating inside the ethnic group isn't negative for most ethnicities. Most Italians , Greeks, Germans etc are 3rd and 4th cousins whitch means there are virtually zero problems from inbreeding. Jews just had a disastrous genetic bottle neck.

And we wonder why a lot of blondes in Israel are dating either arabs or subsaharans, or middle eastern jews

On the one hand On the other hand, many Diaspora Jews have felt betrayed by their non-Jewish friends and even partners' treatment of the rise in antisemitism this month, so it's a coin toss between risking inbreeding and risking your and your children's safety.

Just because you have genetic problems doesn't mean its inbreeding. I have a Terminal disease. My mother Irish my Father Russian. The mutation dates back almost 45,000 years. Issue with breeding outside ethnic group you get rare diseases that are no associated and can result in severe illness and death. Example we had a Asian/American family with a child who had Sickle Cell die because they had no family history but turned out the carried the gene. It may sound simple.

Kurds and arabs from Turkey tend to do it way more often and ethnic turks from Karadeniz and Konya regions do it too but it is not that common. I can confirm most ethnic turks are disgusted by cousin marriage though and it is a very huge taboo for balkan Turks, we are not even allowed to marry someone related to us by 7 generations back traditionally, cousin marriage is a semitic tradition brought to Turks by islam but it is not embraced by most Turks. A turk by ethnicity and a turk by nation is not the same thing like you tend to think in the Netherlands by the way, it is an umbrella term used by all people from Turkey besides being an ethnonym. Also sorry but turkish people or people from Turkey in the netherlands to be more exact are not better educated then Turkish girls form Turkey, they are seen as very ignorant, bad mannered and outright brutish by most Turkish people and are a lot more likely to be religious freaks.

She married a man whose parents both came over from England - she understood "fresh wood in the woodpile." When my aunt was young, still in highschool, she had been asked out on a date by a cute boy at school. Rochester wasn't as big back then, but it was big enough you didn't worry about being related to classmates. She just so happened to visit her grandmother that afternoon before the date. Great grandma of course asked what the young man's name was. "Oh, so his parent's must be so and so. And his grandparent's would have been........ YOU WILL NOT GO OUT WITH THAT BOY!" Great grandma was related to my Aunt on her mother's side, but she knew who made up the family tree on the inlaws side. She knew those two teenagers had grandparents who would have been cousins, and she wasn't about to have that kind of nonsense going on with her descendants. Needless to say, my Aunt cancelled that date.

The truth comes out when looking at birth defect rates. I'm sure some corrupt countries hide that statistic to hide how damaging cousin marriages are but from what has been released it's obvious where inbreeding happens. Just google birth defect rate world map. For countries where incest is not cultural, countries with small populations have slightly higher than those with big populations (which shows how small populations have genetic stagnancy, not a lot of genetic diversity so even if cousin marriages are avoided eventually inbreeding happens). For countries where incest is cultural you see birth defects at high rates even in large populations.

Top 6 states being: Karnataka- 25% Amdhra Pradesh- 23% Tamil Nadu- 21% Telengana- 15% J&K(including Ladakh)- 15% Maharashtra- 12%

You know why!

You know the reason

the US isn't even in the top 100. this guy has a hardon for us I guess.

Cuz he's Bri'ish and a snob but it's racist to call Muslims "disgusting" but okay to call New Mexicans (generally not white tbh) "disgusting". Make it make sense!

Ikr! Many Filipinos are eager to marry out (women but also an increasing number of men too)! 🤣🤣🤣

they were so many mistakes. These videos are not good, they don't put any effort , they will just read a wikipedia page and stick random pictures over them. Yet... everyone clicks.

Also, they tried to claim that Qatar was an island.

This guy would get a fail in any academic environment. Those simple errors were the least of his problems. Start with the lack of any evidence provided them move onto use loaded language (he called the US disgusting on this matter.) and he made no attempt to provide explanation of difference between wide spread approval by a country of cousin marriage and occurrences because of geographic and ethnic isolation.

I know, but I tend to lean into it.

As a New Mexican I will no longer joke about Alabama. We got the crack heads, meth heads and now most inbred. Explains why peeps here are the way the are 😂

"Sweet Home New Mexico" just doesn't have the same ring to it lol. "Sweet Home Arabia" yeah I can work with that.

The American correlation between îñčèst and rãcîsm is mindblowing almost feels as if theyre overcompensating for.something, a smalllllll gene pool

Yep gross even more gross is everyday people doing it in way bigger numbers on this list. Yuck.

Charles the 5 of Spain is so îńbrēd hes ofteb given a nickname of "a fine specimen from Mississippi"

So did the Chinese royalty,ancient Egyptians,native Americans etc 😂😂😂

And have had the attendant genetic disorders. (Hapsburgs, The russian royals pre-1917)

Yes there were quite a few marriages of first cousins.

Same here as an Aussie, but it’s common to know at least one couple who are married cousins (depending on the demographics where you live). Even for a place like Australia with having alot of options for a mate, cousin marriages are probably low these days.

@@MelaniaRose Most people naturally find the idea of marrying a cousin let alone a brother/sister/etc is beyond disgusting that is already enough of a deterrent to prevent people from marrying each other.

@@HarpreetSingh-kj8ro A lot of people find the idea of marrying ANYONE beyond disgusting. Watching other people go through divorce is enough of a deterrent for me 🤢🤮

In the US it's probably more no married births between cousins that is the problem. Most Americans don't get married anymore but they do still have children.

@@crimsoncockatoo4613rd cousins share very little DNA, so it hardly counts as incest. As a matter of fact, studies have shown that 3rd cousin marriages are more fertile and more likely to be successful.

Banning won’t solve the problem. In my country France for example people don’t marry their cousins, it’s not something we do in our culture so there is no reason to ban it. Some Muslim people probably do marry their cousins here, but banning it will just make them not marry legally (but religiously). Most children are born to unmarried couples anyway in France so marriage law won’t do much.

@@augth Ok, so laws don't matter because people will just do whatever they want anyway. Repeal murder and rape laws while you're at it, because everything you just said actually applies to those as well. You should be a legal scholar.

@@ShimobeSama Moron of the day award winner. Congratulations.

​@@augthislam don't advice of marrying your cousin maybe those muslin people theybjust like to mary someone who like and look like them idk

It the groups its pandemic in eg not long go Italians and Greeks for one! Now its Muslims! Its interesting he quotes a paper 07:40 but then completely leaves the saudis 40% and indians 55% off the lists! i think a little biased!

Its not a stereotype outside of Hill people or Native tribes for ibreeding to occur at all in the United States.

You're surprised because you get your worldview from Hollywood 🤦

@@fertilerevitilizer7833 'member kids yte people bad, christian bad. mkay?

@@pierluigiadreani2159 ?

You didn't watch the video did you? He said within the first few seconds that not all nations are sharing data or capable of it, so they can't be in the list

@@fertilerevitilizer7833 Yet we do have that mapped information out, a cursory search will point you to Harvard and much other established and documented insight regarding islanders, both Pacific and Atlantic. Stating that their own research for the video is myopic at the outset doesn't give them a pass. Again, dubious.

​@@fertilerevitilizer7833 no, putting America (less than 1% consanguous marriage rate) on the list was politically motivated and incorrect. Do you really think they don't keep records in countries like Brazil or Egypt that didn't make the list but have much higher rates? Even Japan has a higher rate (approximate 1-4%). Do you think Japan of all places cannot keep records? America is nowhere near the top ten and falls in line with the rates of most European countries, lower than some.

Yes, it's just really odd that he lists the United States as number 10 when it has a very low rate of inbreeding. It reeks of the author having an agenda. If he would list sources, I wouldn't have an issue with this video. My guess is that he's just pulling raw numbers and not per capita. Even then, the U.S. is not even in the top 30 nations.

Thank you for your sensible and thought-provoking comment.

I think your just mad that brown and black countries almost entirely make up this list. So you have to cope some how.

Thank you! I was so disappointed that this video focused on historical records rather than genetic data. He is ignoring all the past inbreeding that occurred in ages past. If a nation has only stopped inbreeding in the past 500 years or less, it will be reflected in the dna.

Thank you. recent inbreeding is of less interest to me than a country that is multi-genetic bottleneck so you end up with something closer to most dog breeds' homozygosity rates

@@OKay-ox3kh Wow you really embarrassed yourself with that comment.

i thought they were only allowed to married within their religion?

@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753: *That doesn't mean they all listen.* Are you Cambodian? I'm Vietnamese, and *quite a number of Middle Eastern and North African women like us Asian guys.* I'm currently dating an Algerian woman, and my first girlfriend was also an Algerian, and I later dated two Moroccans, and one of the Yemeni women I mentioned above. I am friends with a married couple with a teenage son, where the husband is Japanese and the wife is Moroccan. I also know another Moroccan woman whose boyfriend is Laotian.

@@Suite_annamite do you happen to be from france or quebec by any chance? many south east asian guys date out in those places.

@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753: Yes! I'm from Québec, and my uncles married my French-Canadian aunts! My famale cousins are also French Canadians. Indeed, you are right: over here, many Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Chinese men are with women from other racial backgrounds! *And even more so in France, where it looks like the majority of them!*

@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753: i forgot to mention, I know a 30-something-year-old woman who's dad is a Teochow Cambodian, and whose mom is Moroccan. And yes, they are from Québec too.

Im bosnian and it's considered extremely inappropriate to marry your 3rd even 4th cousins.

It used to be you had to get a blood test before you married

There was a couple who each took a DNA test and found out they were brother and sister.

My family is from GA too (Sasser area) and were from slaves. Stories passed down that masters didn't/wouldn't inbreed slaves ofter because of the chance it would "ruin the stock". I think it's why you don't see a lot of Black Americans with allergies, serious medical conditions that White Americans routinely get. Black ppl it's usually diet and Sickle Cell but that's it for deformities.

@@ADadSupreme Black people get sickle cell disease, heart disease, cancer so I don’t where you came up with they don’t get sick. I’m from the south too. There were also black slave owners.
