I'm not an expert in any of this. Did you look at factors like nutrition? Malnutrition impacts brain development. If your society features your women as second class, getting ahold of necessary foods for good brain development in utero and during breastfeeding is probably going to have an impact. I don't know how much biology compensates for that, or if there's loopholes/protectionary methods.

Well now you've moved the discussion from a debate about levels of consanguinity within populations to one about malnutrition. I'm sorry but I don't know what the two have to do with each other. Are hungry people more likely to engage in incest? What is the point now -- presumably you've discarded your original one -- you're trying to make?

I don't have propaganda here. I honestly don't give a shit about the overlying argument. I'm trying to get you to think of other factors affecting the behaviors that you guys are discussing in the thread. Carry on.
