Inbreeding and success

Debates


Are inbred people generally more successful? If so, is it because greed is usually accentuated in the gene pool?

Inbreeding prevents dilution of inheritances so it leads to success in that sense which is why the Spanish Hapsburgs did it

It was common for royal families to inbreed. Was it the females that were doing the selecting? It is females that tend to be attracted to money and success.

It’s very bad congeniality speaking most of the later Hapsburg were mad, bad and deformed.
In nature most species have ways of guarding against inbreeding because those that don’t tend to die out.
Gene pools should be as deep as possible

I think you made an error when you wrote that. Those that don't inbreed tend to die out?

Oh, I think there’s a failed lab experiment in there somewhere.

Is it unreasonable to expect a poster to be able to interpret a simple two line post. He won’t admit to not being a native speaker of English so why should anyone make allowances.
It is actually a potentially stimulating RHP debate if we can get around MBs obsession with the Rothchilds

The statement is quite clear:
Those that DON'T guard against inbreeding tend to die out.

That is not true. Did the Rothschild family die out? Did all dog breeds die out?
The statement is quite wrong.
