That is a second cousin relationship. Not all that unheard of and not twisted. The Post is stretching.

It deflects from the real issue.

This will be their talking point now.

“””That is a second cousin relationship. Not all that unheard of and not twisted. The Post is stretching.”””


You are making the common mistake of calling the child of your first cousin a SECOND COUSIN.

No, the child of your first cousin is a FIRST COUSIN, ONCE REMOVED.

Not the same as a second cousin relationship. First cousin once removed has about twice the genetic similarity as second cousin, about 6-7% ahared DNA on average compared to about 3%. At least that’s what Perplexity has to say about it.
