Generally it's not seen as particularly bad, although as in mammals the bad points are magnified as well as the good. Usually after about four or six generations one should outcross. And it's not always so bad in mammals - the famed example is Cleopatra, known world-wide as beautiful and brilliant, and the product of a very long line of Ptolemy family brother/sister marraiges. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |
