Likewise, their sons were also half-brothers (between them and with their mothers ...
Inbreeding is also used to reveal deleterious recessive alleles, which can then be eliminated through assortative breeding or through culling. In plant breeding, inbred lines are used as stocks for the creation of hybrid lines to make use of the effects of heterosis. Inbreeding in plants also occurs naturally in the form of self-pollination.
Children and adults had regularly engaged in sexual activities which conceived children, some with genetic deformities. Most of the children had fungal infections . In order to hide the pregnancies, the girls would sometimes miscarry on the farm, or fatherhood was attributed to outsiders from outside Australia coming to the country for work or ...
Globally, 8.5% of children have consanguineous (i.e. coefficient of relationship r = 3.125% or higher) parents, and 20% of the human population live in communities practicing endogamy. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Theories on the developments of consanguineous marriage as a taboo can be supported as being both a social and a biological development.

Genetic purging is the increased pressure of natural selection against deleterious alleles prompted by inbreeding. [1]Purging occurs because deleterious alleles tend to be recessive, which means that they only express all their harmful effects when they are present in the two copies of the individual (i.e., in homozygosis).
