Sounds like he didn’t take steps to do shit, he just put the responsibility on his wives to change.

I would have thought his part in contraception would be being 70.

"his children now range from 10 to 50 years old."
Surely his adult children should be providing for their own families, yes? Why is it on this 70 year old?

I would be seriously surprised if he would remember all of them.

I mean I can definitely feel his pain.

While I feel the pain of his wives, with their 8 or 9 (living!) children each.

how is there no inbreeding in Uganda?

It's been a long time since I took any classes involving genetics, but there is quite a bit more genetic diversity amongst humans on the African continent - if incest is an issue perhaps this fact offsets that somewhat?
The_v@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 1y
Not really. Although the genetic diversity across the entire continent is higher, limits to mate selection is common. Location, culture, economics, language, etc, all limit the genetic pool that people have to choose a mate from. So in-group inbreeding is relatively common.
Humans have lived in smaller groups with limited mate choice for most of our evolutionary history. A lower level of inbreeding improves fecundity (around 4th cousins). Once the inbreeding coefficient gets to around 2nd cousins, that's when problems arise. This happens often in small tribes.
Smaller polygamous groups quickly develop issues with inbreeding. The entire group often has an inbreeding coefficient around 1st cousins or even siblings (example - polygamous Mormons).
Now Uganda is a bit different because the polygamous group is large. This limits inbreeding effects.

Really great information, thanks!

If everyone's polygamous, no one is
