Why inbreeding is bad
The Unz Review ^ | 13 Dec 2013 | Razib Khan

Posted on 12/13/2013 6:52:07 PM PST by Theoria

A shocking case of a family of ~40 in rural Australia, the “Colts” (it’s a pseudonym), which has engaged in several generations of first degree incest has surfaced. You can read the summary in the press. But the Australian government has released a report on the case. I haven’t read most of it because the snippets I have stumbled upon are very disturbing. But, I was curious as to the characterization of the 12 children who were removed by social services. In particular, only one, Cindy, had parents who were unrelated. Note how different she is:

Cindy Colt (5), Rhonda Colt’s daughter, was medically examined on the day of her removal. She had a viral cold, but her health and hygiene was otherwise observed to be good, and her clothes were clean. She was suffering from an ear infection, although her mother had taken her to hospital two weeks prior to her removal to have this problem treated. She was unable to brush her teeth properly, though it is to be noted she was only 4 at the time. She could not bathe or dress herself, but unlike other children was reportedly capable of using toilet paper. But she preferred to eat with her fingers. She also required dental treatment, although it was submitted that her needs in this regard may not have been readily apparent to a lay observer, given the apparent absence of complaints of pain. Unlike the other children, Cindy presented as a well-spoken polite, bright, intelligent girl whose development was normal for her age. As previously noted, of all the children, the genetic testing demonstrated that her parents were not related.

The most inbred group of humans on the planet are Muslims — and look at their contributions to humanity!

Inbreeding is one of the ways we bred wolfs into dogs....

Don't let the Liberals know about this, they may start mandating inbreeding, it would make a more pliable "serf class" for them....

Is that chart saying Tim and June produced Betty, and then Tim and Betty produced another dozen-or-so?

Talk about your alternate realities. These people live in their own private purgatory. The poor children are doomed unless the are separated from the only people they’ve ever known. There must be no equivalent to Child Protective Services over there. Of course, The world is still a very big place, even today. If you step away from cell phone contact you can, if you want to drop out of society. I doubt if there was any religion or teaching of morality. Each generation was getting progressively worse than the one before.

according to this....

www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/the-secret-life-inside-the-depraved-family-who-live-in-the-hills-of-a-quiet-country-town/story-fnixwvgh-1226781706111

“nterviews with the Colts revealed the family saga began back in New Zealand, in the first half of last century when June Colt was born to parents who were brother and sister.

June married Tim and in the 1970s the couple emigrated to Australia.”

So actually it started well before June and Tim. This family is sick!

It sounded like most of them were mentally retarded and didn’t even know (or were incapable of) basic hygiene.

Muslims

Being from Bangladesh, it's likely the author started out as one of those.

However, it appears he's an apostate. On his Twitter page, he characterizes himself as "Evolutionist. Geneticist. Atheist. Reactionary." He's a grad student in genetics. See www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/Catgenetics/RKhan.html. He wrote an article entitled Old Europe's Obit for the American Conservative.
