The person you sat next to on the bus this morning is, on average, likely to be something like your sixth cousin. But our mating patterns are changing, as Steve Jones explains

Good Lord!
That's a good thing. Less inbreeding would produce less negative mutants. There are so many boys born hemophiliacs, mentally impaired, and other challenges. I think those ailments have been due to breeding with people within a family. Also consider a township where there have been very few of visitors. That would mean that there have been less people having children from outside that town's gene pool. That would be a form of inbreeding.
