What ? :confused:
Next time, you should split this into chunks so that I could understand ! :p
<translation>Which of my ancestors can I legally bump uglies with? And can anyone spare a shovel?</translation>
What's the goal? You wouldn't get viable offspring from any that are unable to raise children, so that leaves out all the dead ones.
Technically, the answer is 0. Inbreeding does cause negative effects, but doing so for a generation or two is unlikely to cause trouble. Once you get a couple generations apart, the genetic similarity is pretty small. If you have the combination of your parents genes, then you are only 50% related to either parent, 25% related to any grandparent, and so on. 1/2^n relationship back n generations. Since you would have a fair probability of having viable offspring even with a sibling, the odds of genetic consequences back a few generations is getting pretty small.
You answered the wrong way around. I want to know how many generations until my ancestors are no longer considered human.
We used to have a guy working for us that would write gross SQL statements like that!Quote:
