Following is a transcript of the video:
What did Queen Victoria, Charles Darwin, and Albert Einstein have in common? They all married their first cousins. You’d think Darwin of all people would know better. After all, mating with a close relative passes on bad genes that lead to deadly genetic mutations, right?
Today marrying your first cousin is illegal in 24 US states. But for most of Western history, people had to marry whoever lived nearby, which oftentimes meant marrying within the extended family.
In fact, between 1650-1850, the average married couple was fourth cousins. So, they had the same great-great-great-grandparents.
Genetically speaking that means they shared 0.20% of their DNA. Not much when you compare it to third(0.78%), second(3.13%), and especially first cousins(12.5%). And, the more DNA you share, the greater the chance your offspring will have a genetic disease - like cystic fibrosis or sickle-cell anemia.
But here’s the thing: You don’t have to be sick in order to give your child a genetic disease.
Take cystic fibrosis. It’s caused by a defect in the CFTR gene. But you need two copies of the defective gene to actually get the disease. So, if you only have one defective copy, you’re unaffected. Instead, you’re what’s called a carrier.
Now, if one carrier mates with a non-carrier, there’s no risk of the kids getting sick. But when both parents carry a defective copy of CFTR, then the kids have a 25% chance of inheriting two copies of the gene and having the disease.
So to see how dangerous it is to marry your first cousin, we need to calculate the chances that two first cousins both carry a copy of the same genetic disease.
Since they share a set of grandparents, we’ll start there. Now it becomes a game of “what ifs”: What if both grandparents are carriers vs. just one? What if one of their children is a carrier vs. none at all? And what if those children marry other carriers, or not? It can get very complicated, very quickly.
But scientists have crunched the numbers and it turns out the risk that the cousins have a kid who inherits a genetic disease is 4-7%. For the general population, it’s 3-4%.
So, not a big deal right? Here’s the catch: That’s the odds for one genetic disease. But there are thousands that could be hiding in your family tree.
Plus, if your kids also marry their first cousins and their kids marry their first cousins it’s a recipe for disaster. Because instead of introducing new, potentially helpful genes into the family gene pool, you’re recycling the old - and possibly dangerous - ones.
Take Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria. His parents were first cousins twice over! And when he was born, he wasn’t especially healthy. So, as far as marrying your cousin is concerned, you shouldn’t make it a family tradition. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Yes bro! JEE aspirant and I know what you mean 😉😜
That's the reason why you can't invent or innovate, why do you even choose to study science if you're not interested (besides the basic high school shit). You probably do it for money/career. Idiots like you exist i guess.

@@erenb.2806 what were you thinking? can you think a bit more wiser?
@@TheNamesArif I'm saying that india has a dumbass trend where everyone HAS to study science as if no other field exists and parents of these children give off lame excuses like "engineering/doctors have a good profession and make a ton of money". Fun fact, it isn't remotely true. And there are many other fields in bio-medical sciences so why do idiotic parents set their sights on a single career.

With the amount of children being born out of wedlock your unknown siblings or cousins could be walking around America.
I did research on my ancestors and along my father’s line his family lived in a small rural community. I saw SO MANY people with the same last name along the branches of my father’s family tree. My grandparents had the same last name. I am lucky I was born relatively normal, probably because he left that community and married a woman from another country. Fresh genes!
What if they don't have any disease?🙂
@@Ishhhh0 Well, almost every member of my father’s family has diabetes type 2, and I’m pre-diabetic. I also knew two of his uncles from both sides of his family, and they were diabetic. Also, my father, one brother, and two of his sisters had a bent pinky finger, known as clinodactyly, which I learned in high school biology is a genetic trait that can run in families. Thankfully, nothing else.
@@favforsue Diabetes 2 = obesity and bad food
@@baldrianpill Most of the time, yes. But there are other factors involved. My daughter has PCOS, and she is prediabetic. Her BMI is normal. I am also prediabetic, and even though I follow a healthy diet, my thyroid has betrayed me and even with medication it has been hard controlling my metabolism. I see an endocrinologist every 3 months, and the last time I saw her all my numbers were finally normal. But it has been an incredible effort, because my diet was already normal to begin with. Low fat, low carb, no sugar. I also have high cholesterol, which runs in my mother’s family. It seems like all I eat is roasted/baked chicken, some fish, and vegetables. My guilty pleasure is an ocasional spoonful of rice or mashed potatoes.
My one set of grandparents also come from the same village,grew up together and have the same last name,i dont think they are related but gotta say things be pretty messed up. My grandma has 12 siblings and they all had kids.i dont know who is or who isnt my cousin anymore.only know my first cousins (i have 8 first cousins)

That’s interesting. This is the reason why in our Hindu culture we initially match kundali in which the GOTRA is matched, If it is same we are not allowed to marry because it indicates we belong to same extended family.

“Is it dangerous to reproduce with your cousin?” There I made the title more representative of the content. There’s a difference between marriage, and reproduction.
True but still not dangerous.
J-M's History Corner Curses! I hadn’t considered that.
Point needed to be made.
Yeah. Einstein married his cousin but didn't have children with her.
They are talking about both
Alabama: **sweats nervously**
New Jersey law states "Consensual incest between people 18 years old or more is not a criminal offense." Alabama isn't even that bad...
The actual truth is that we have been conditioned to be disgusted from marrying closed relatives more than what the actual results, but the chances that we all know someone whom got married their relative and had kids with no genetic problems, and we know plenty whom were from completely different parts and still had disabilities, are pretty high!
You are exactly right. In muslim countries marrying a cousin is very normal. Yet in Western countries i have seen more issue of disabilities where people dont marry cousins
I have not been conditioned. I did not need to be "conditioned" to be disgusted by that kind of thing. It's not something that someone needed to teach me is weird.
@@TheLobsterCopter5000 Lmao, that's exactly what every brainwashed person thinks. Do you speak a second language? Have you ever consumed anything that's not anglocentric in your life?
@@TheLobsterCopter5000If you grew up in an environment where cousin marriage is taboo, then yes you have been conditioned. Conditioning doesn’t have to be something direct, it’s just based on what’s around you growing up.
@@SocraticMayhem There's this thing called instinct, dumbass.
Well darwin would not have known since genes were discovered 30 years after his death
Prince Nixon They knew that traits could be passed down from parents and previous ancestors, but they did not know the specifics of genes. Hence why our produce looks so different then when it first started out. I wouldn't think they'd know about the dangers of interbreeding. Or they just didn't care.

I have always thought of that.
poiuy, I am pretty sure you meant inbreeding not interbreeding.

Hmm yes, marriage bad
that emoji makes me want to commit genocide
It all depends on the defective gene present in the person. If a person marries someone (outside of his cousins) who has a defective gene there will still be chances of getting a genetic disease.
We all have genetic mutations. That's why we have two pairs of each chromosome, so the other healthy gene can compensate the faulty one. If you inherit both faulty genes, you are disabled.
The thing is, you are more likely to have the same defect as your family than a complete stranger.

You’d think the stigma around 1st cousin marriage would decrease given the rise of technology. Like if two cousins can do genetic testing to see what genes they carry, they can decide if the pregnancy is worth the risk.
as well as other precautions like embryo screening
The government wants the stigma because they can control a populace that has weaker familial ties. It's been shown throughout history.
My Dad used to point out that someone we(our family) knew married her first cousin. He eventually hired her when he became a lab manager at our children's hospital. Wonderful lady I still see not far from where I live. He used to kind of joke about her marriage. I think most of us came up thinking such a union is illegal here. I found out only a few years back that it isn't illegal here and never was. The man has since died. They had no kids.

I would never think of marrying my cousin, but people who claim it’s super harmful and cousin marriage shouldn’t happen are very ignorant imo. A lot of people practice it and it doesn’t harm their offspring at all, I know a lot of people whose parents were cousins and are perfectly healthy, including me and my sister. Both of us were and are healthy and the health issues I have are unrelated to genes.
Cousin mean u r own sisiter?
And tell them that I have seen people with abnormal mental/physicality health where their parents weren't first

I am glad you are okay. However, modern science provides evidence of the increased probability of disease by a few percentage points overall unfortunately. Also it gets worse if it is repeated over many generations.

Random fact-
In Hinduism , there are gotra. It represents clan and that decides your marriage partner. There are numerous number of gotra, I mean thousands, and marriage with the same gotra girl or boy, or having baby is referred to as a inbreeding, which is strictly NO in Hinduism rules. And which can led to dangerous disabilities or diseases in offspring. Talking about the marriage, marriage depends on many factors in Hinduism, from gotra to planetary positions at brith, to the cosmic energy balance of both personality called Guna milan. But the basis matching is done by gotra.
So why krishna married mitravinda and arjun married subhadra
Now please don't tell me you can marry your mummori behen and bhai
@@apba2240 In the Bhagavata Purana, Mitravinda is described as the daughter of Rajadhidevi, the sister of Kunti and cousin sister of Krishna's father Vasudeva, and King Jayasena of the kingdom of Avanti, present-day Ujjain. So the gotra was different as she was his paternal side aunts daughter. After girls marriage to other family their child has the husband's GOTRA , keeping the match good.
@@apba2240 And about subhadra ,she was sister of krishna.krishna and the pandavas are first cousins. kunti, the mother of the pandavas, is the paternal aunt of krishna. which is to say, kunti is the sister of krishna's father, vasudeva. So again the GOTRA changed after her paternal aunt was married so the marrige is still pure and according to Hinduism.
I wanted you to know this as this also happens in south india till now and do not go again the rules of Hinduism.
@@arushijha7679 what about arjun then ?
Was he really related to subhadra?
My uncle and aunt are cousins and they have a normal happy family. My aunt really liked my uncle, their children never had any problems and were perfectly healthy, there were no problems. They barely talk about it though since a lot of people find it gross. I think if someone likes their cousin, they should get together.

You share about 99% DNA with any other human, and from this 1% which differ between us 0.2% is common between fourth cousins
Guys, just don't marry your immediate family. This is your sibling, parent, uncle/aunt, grandparent, and 1st cousin. Outside that, you are probably fined.
Gerwin Beukhof lmao the video said that, didn't you watch it?
Haha my parents are third cousins. I think 3rd onwards is the start of more acceptable ones.
Like, I do not know or am not close with most of my second cousins. So there's no familial feelings with some of the third degrees
My parents are cousins and my paternal grandparents are cousins.... I'm healthy alhamdulillah
You are lucky. Don't do it yourself.
lucky. But don't promote it.
Sister don’t listen to this hysterical nonsense nothing wrong with cousins marriage because the child has the same risk as any child science already debunked this westerners hysteria
Our ppl been marrying cousins for a loooong time and nothing wrong with it
@@KanonenBengan
Don’t marry at all
A non related child has 4% risk anyway
Now what you going to say ? Hypocrite
@@Palestine4Ever169 just because your prophet was a pedophile monster, it doesn't mean you have to become one. Use logic stupid religious person
So marrying your cousin is legal in more US States than smoking weed is that’s very telling…
Why this Alabama shit in my recommendation box
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha 😂
boss man yea me too
Mine too
Even if it’s not dangerous it’s nasty 🤢
Not really I don't see a problem with it.
TheFiery_Potato dude that's just bigoted
xylitol what's nasty in that? If you love him/her truly there is no harm.
TheFiery_Potato Being gay and having a child with ur family are two VERY different things. Congratulations you played ya self
EXACTLY WHO TF THINKS THATS OKAY THEY NEED HELP FR 🤢🤢 AND KIDS BE GETTING SEVEN FINGERS DOING THAT WITH FAMILY
Me: is engaged to someone who is not my cousin
Also me: hmm interesting
😂😂
marrying isn't the same as having a child
@ARPIT MONGA nowadays we have a choice and variety of birth control. It is obvious more people will choose their comfort over kids.
*Alabama has entered the chat*
cheyfi16 😂😂😂
Arab countries have significantly higher cousin marriage rates than Alabama would, I’m sure.
Hahaha
cheyfi16 God has left the chat
its not like i live there or anything...
1.3k dislikes are married to their cousin
Or people that dont agree with incest
My parents married thier own cousin and i must say that if the baby were a boy than i just one to say that u will have a bad future ahead of u....SO STOP MARRYING YOUR COUSIN OR THE BABY BOY WILL END UP HAVING A HELL LIFE AHEAD OF HIM!! just like me
So, how about the Risk of Marrying a Sibling?😵😖😲🤢
I used to have a crush on my cousin but now I'm glad we never got together 💔
In Philippines , if we know we had the same surname, middle name its automatically “no we cant have a relationship” as long we can trace your family names.. actually we celebrate family reunion here even up to 4th-6th generation..it is still counted as long you have the surname and middle name.. and everyone who has that certain surname are still Welcome thats why its easy for us to trace our relatives beside of being family oriented..but there are still isolated people here practicing that culture(marrying relatives) especially tribes..
Lol, why does Einstein and his wife look like Rick and Morty.

Video summery: *Do not marry your cousin*
Galaxy Daniella ? Not rlly this video was made to combat stereotypes that having kids with ur cousins is extremely dangerous when it’s not. That’s the point of the video and the summary.
Galaxy Daniella
ARMY!
Galaxy Daniella instead marry your boyfriend or girlfriend
Tariq Navabi thinking that a wgerr are muslims to defend this.. Found one😁😁
sister is fine though
There's nothing wrong, my aunt literally married her cousin and they have 3 healthy children 🤣
It is a risk not worth taking
Especially if it is a first cousin
@@Dalila-ms8eh but all the people i know who married their cousins have healthy children
For the people who like/liked their cousins. Was it because you aren't/weren't as close together? You rarely get/got to see eachother or something?
We rarely saw each other...
First cousin marriage is bad🙄
Kerala : Hold my marumakkathayam 😂

They marry cousins in Kerala?
@@gunjitakumari5138 it was a practice in every Hindu family in olden days first priority was for first cousin and it continued for many generations

@@asilaslapt1510 that's interesting. I didn't know that. Thank you!

Everyone in the Comments: You Can't Marry Your Cousin.
Someone In The comments: marry Some other than your cousin.
Science: Um Hello All Humans Are Cousins.
Genetically speaking it's better to have a mixed race family.
Yes, its actually better for humankind.
Definitely
Yep. :)
No 😂😂😂😂😂
@@worstchoresmadesimple6259 not really. The divorce rates are higher for unrelated couples.
You've just triggered the entire state of Kentucky.
Hey hey hey we're doing fine
*Alabama
Ancient Anarchy I think u mean *alabama*
and alabama
And Alabama.
Well 🤔 if you think about it. Everyone might be all related one day.
Actually, we all share an unknown common ancestor so really we are all related already, just very, very, very distantly related.
But gene mutation and adaptation made all of us different, fun fact your 4th cousin is as genetically different with you as a random person completely unrelated to you. But having children with your 1st cousin is a just a recipe for disaster, and its weird, why would you try to defend it?
still we would not be humans if we were not related
@@daneymcpane
Do you mean Adam pbuh?
Just name him Adam.
@@SuperJosteen Interesting. Yes it is weird, but isn‘t homosexuality just as weird and just as damaging to the next generation? (well for homosexual marriages, there is a cease of offspring)
So why is being gay not as weird as incest?
“because first cousins is legal, my friend. Legal.”
~Tad Spencer
Brings back memories
My great grandfather married his own 17 years old step-daughter after her mother died, technically not related but considering his kids from the first marriage had to treat their half-sister as their step-mother it always seemed off to me.
That’s crazy
Welcome to Saudi Arabia... Where everyone maries their first cousin
😂😂
Not everyone
As a person born in Saudi Arabia myself, I say you're horribly wrong
Blue Pearl Lol looks like you are dumb. Not every arabs marry their cousin. I’m not an Arab but it is a FACT.
Khalid M.D. lol that’s exactly what I thought about
I will marry myself
I will climb #MtEverest myself
then I will commit die myself
Maya Sherpa Same 😂😂😂
I kissed my cute lil sister mouth
Me too XD
Thanks , needed this...
Oh I expected the video would tell me like ‘be positive! in the end but it actually turns out to be a warning haha
