You've nailed it.  All over the world people have this congenital believe about 'blood and soil'-- that 'this land is for our people and not for inferior people'.  They'll say that anyone who suggest that our ancestry does not extend back to the Beginning is not normal.

They're right-- I used the word "congenital" because I think these beliefs are actually hard wired into us at birth.  Overcoming these prejudices may be a big step toward reality, but it's just not normal.  The irony is the very fact that this common belief is so universal is even more proof of recent ancestry.

They already know they are cousins -- they are both of the SEmitic race (as opposed to Europeans, Iranis, Indians who are Aryans) and, biblically, both are descended from Abraham so are cousins....
