This is how you produce the greatest minds, clearly.
Comment on that's just science
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 20 hours agoI’m unclear on the concept of a second cousin. I’m also unclear on the how she would be a cousin on both sides.
Wait…was Einstein’s family tree shaped like a telephone pole?

I mean, honestly, it actually might be. It’s certainly how evolution did it. We’re basically programmed to have genetic drifts if the population gets too low, making more likely for the reproducing population to find a new niche. So while it would be hilariously immoral, and also probably produce A LOT more of the worst minds, you produce enough genetic freaks and eventually one of em is gonna be a megagenius

dude all of us unclear on the concept of second cousin. like, we were digging through my family history and found out one of my great something grandfathers married his fifth? cousin. like, they didn’t even find out until the wedding and the grandparents were “meeting” and were like “aren’t we second cousins or something” but in a town of 5,000 your picks are limited.
