Hi Tiger Paw long time no see. In regards to who marries whom etc. The point is still that we each need to have far more ancestors than is possible,if you double the source of your gene pool contributors every generation. (The math is just like computer memory.) It doesn't matter if you count in incest, cousins or whatever, your genes are donated from 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents and so on. Your great grandparents could all be brothers and sisters, it doesn't change the fact that one generation before them you needed 16 progenitors, 32 the generation before that on so on. We are taught that it begins with one couple and there is a triangle shaped family tree expanding with each generation, but invert the triangle with yourself at the peak to account for all of the ancestors taht you had to have to make up your genes and you have a conflict. Good luck figuring this one out.
