While US Scientists seem to spend their time dreaming up ever more exotic laser weapons, here in the UK all the know-alls seem to have been employed by the ministry of the bloody obvious. More evidence of this today as a new report by William Amos at the University of Cambridge tells us that marrying within your close family will increase the likelyhood of, quote-unquote “poor health and infection” in your kids. And a third eye and penchant for chainsaw murder if Hollywood is to be believed. According to research carried out in Gambia, where intermarriage is common, children from…close…families were far more likely to suffer from TB than usual.
So, a huge grant, and dozens of the country’s top brains to tell us:
You can’t shag your sister and expect any good to come from it.
Good work guys!
