Is there any peer reviewed data evidence on dirty inbreeding, creepy incest, dysfunctional cousin marriages with the Amish in USA and do they marry/ breed with non Amish ?- Genetic effects ?





Yes, there is data and research regarding inbreeding, cousin marriages, incest, and marriage patterns among the Amish in the USA. 

Here's a breakdown of the key points based on academic studies and genetic research:


1. Inbreeding and Cousin Marriages

  • Yes, the Amish do have a higher rate of consanguinity (marriage between blood relatives) than the general U.S. population, but close inbreeding (e.g., sibling or parent-child incest) is extremely rare and heavily taboo.

  • Cousin marriages, particularly second cousins or more distant, are not uncommon and generally permitted within many Amish communities.

  • First cousin marriages are much less common and are often discouraged, although not always forbidden, depending on the church district.

Why this happens:

  • The Amish population is a genetic isolate, descending from about 200 founders who immigrated to the U.S. from Switzerland and Germany in the 1700s–1800s.

  • The current population of over 375,000 is descended from this small group, so the gene pool is limited.

  • Genetic bottlenecks and endogamy (marrying within the group) naturally increase the chance of recessive genetic disorders.

🔸 2. Genetic Disorders Related to Inbreeding

  • Certain rare genetic disorders are more common among the Amish due to founder effect and inbreeding, such as:

    • Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (extra fingers, dwarfism)

    • Glutaric aciduria type I

    • Crigler–Najjar syndrome

  • These conditions are monitored through special Amish-specific genetic clinics, especially in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

🔸 3. Do Amish Marry Non-Amish?

  • Generally, Amish do not marry outsiders ("English" in their terminology).

  • For an outsider to marry an Amish person, they would need to:

    • Convert to the Amish faith

    • Join the Amish church

    • Fully adopt the lifestyle, which is difficult and rare

  • Conversion happens, but it's uncommon—only a small percentage of outsiders successfully join.

🔸 4. Is There a Problem with Incest?

  • There is no widespread evidence or data suggesting that incest (as defined by sexual relations between close kin, like siblings or parents) is a systemic issue among the Amish.

  • As in any community, isolated abuse cases can occur, but the Amish are known to handle issues internally, which sometimes results in underreporting.

  • Sociological critiques have been raised about accountability and justice in some cases, especially related to abuse within tight-knit, insular communities.

🔸 Summary:

TopicAmish Practice/Pattern
InbreedingElevated due to limited founders; not extreme
Cousin MarriageOften allowed; first cousins less common
IncestStrongly taboo; no data suggesting it's common
Marrying outsidersVery rare; outsider must convert and be baptized
Genetic effectsHigher rates of certain recessive disorders

Complex layers of human social behavior. Could it be that these are subconscious echoes of ancestral encounters between us modern Humans- Homo_Sapiens ALIAS '' Homo diddyoil'' and Homo_Neanderthals?

  What if some of the traits we see in people from Europe, Africa, and Asia—particularly in India [ Dalits or their so called Black untouchables] —are in today's world of free education / much improved scientific chivalry and honesty from even European/ Arab/ Asian ETC scientists blatant manifestations of deeply embedded Neanderthal genetics, subconsciously influencing behavior even today? Does the intelligence of anyone who thinks this has no basis or who finds this deduction totally illogical need to be questioned, scrutinized before God, Man and Data.   One striking example is the town of Orania in South Africa, a place where racial segregation continues as you read, and Black residents are notably absent despite being in the heart of a predominantly Black continent.  Orania is in South Africa which is a country, a prominent country in Africa. While this isn't an attempt to cast blame solely on the so described and titled separately, the separatists called Oranian...

Elon Musk Is the Perfect FAKE White Man: The Epitome of FAKE White Mentality—This Is Why FAKE White People Hate Him (Beyond His Wealth). The Ancestors Sent Him to Expose the Nature They Have Killed Us for, ''FOR''... Merely Highlighting Since They Came From The Caves Of Planet Closet Nazis..

For centuries, white people have built a global myth —the idea that Black men are irresponsible fathers, abandoning their children, leaving broken homes. This lie has been used to justify every racist policy imaginable, from mass incarceration to economic disenfranchisement. It has been a psychological weapon to strip Black men of dignity while upholding whiteness as the moral standard. But now, in the year 202X, the perfect white man—the whitest of them all —has arrived to shatter their carefully constructed illusion. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, a walking monument to white entitlement, is proving that white men have always been the blueprint for reckless reproduction, strategic neglect, and the abandonment of their own blood. He has fathered at least 11 children with multiple women, scattered them across the world like colonial outposts, and yet—where is the white outrage?  Where is the global condemnation that Black men face for merely existing?  Where are the...

Supercavitation: UAV's, Whatever's Zipping Through Our Skies, Time Dilation [ Travel ] Drag Cancellation And Jump Rooms/ Jump Points Technology

 Technology, Time, and Mystery: Are UFOs Hiding in Plain Physics? The world of cutting-edge technology and unexplained stuff often converge in  bat shit crazy ways, leading to provocative questions about the limits of our understanding.  Take, for instance, the principle of supercavitation, a technological grey-out used in high-speed underwater weaponry. This innovation creates a gas bubble around a projectile, drastically reducing drag and enabling astonishing speeds. Imagine applying this principle not to torpedoes slicing through water, but to unidentified flying objects (UFOs) zipping through our skies and beyond. Could similar mechanisms—on an entirely different scale—explain some of the irrational, nowadays unavoidable reported global cases of UFO sightings? Supercavitation: Redefining Speed Supercavitation technology, seen in devices like Russia’s VA-111 Shkval torpedo, shows how innovation can defy conventional limitations. By creating a "bubble" of air around an ...
