Urban areas have more intermarriages while the country has more consanguineous relationships occuring. After visiting an area widely rumoured to be rife with inbreeding a couple of weeks ago, I suddenly became more interested in these aspects of population theory and would be interested to hear what others have to think and any experiences people might think relevent.
Reading about it reminds me of the Asian population in England staying very much to themselves and extended families in deepest, dark Wales![Wink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Also some with an agenda do make a definite try at proving "their point" even if they have good credentials.
