Ok, so from what I understand, scientists now feel that inbreeding of relatives is not as harmful as we once thought.
A first or second generation pairing has very little (if any) increased chance of mutations.

It's when you continue to inbreed generation after generation that things become problematic and the chances of mishap go up faster.


Anyone have any thoughts on this?
