TIL Cleopatra was ethnically Greek, not Egyptian. Her ancestor Ptolomy served in Alexander the Great's army. After Alexander's, death Ptolemy stole the body & used it to claim legitimacy as ruler of Egypt. His dynasty lasted 292 years until Augustus Cesar defeated Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium.

I don't think inbreeding makes you less physically attractive you might end up with disabilities but not all of them do... lol.

Inbreeding definitely does make people less attractive.

perhaps because it's socially unacceptable at this point in time, but it doesn't necessary make one look "ugly" according to physical social standards of bodily beauty.

Yes it does, it reduces the likelihood you have symmetrical features and most other indicators of health which are pretty much the only universal standards of beauty.

"it doesn't necessary" = "it reduces the likelihood" = "not all of them do", I don't think you understood what I said. Anyways, we're talking about odds, you may be inbred and be completely healthy and look amazing. Odds of it resulting in disease etc are there and there is a chance that it might affect other things... So no one can be sure :). I rest my case.
