Wait, aren’t cousins more okay?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 days ago (2 children)

more okay for having kids with, less okay for just fooling around with

How is fooling around with cousins less ok than with siblings?

Found the southerner in this comment section!

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

reletively yes but you still shouldn't.

a 1st cousin has like 16% shared dna. half removed is half that. 2nd cousin is half of the half removed and it repeats.

so 1st > 1st half removed > 2nd > 2nd half removed> ... nth.

after a few steps in your percentage is already pretty fucking low.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Iirc first cousins have a 5% chance of terrible outcomes, which might sound low but... anyone who has played D&D or other d20 TTRPGs know how often 1s hit.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 days ago

Yeah, about 5% of the time...

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

All humans have like 99.9% shared DNA with every other human on a planet. Hell we have about 50% shared DNA with a banana.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I assume the 16% is of the portion of DNA which varies among humans, not the shared portion which makes one human in the first place.

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

No no, I think he's talking about cross-species cousins

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

4% to a banana 50 with an ape iirc
