This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Second degree cousins is not that close though. If every generation has three children, that's 27 persons. I thinks that for most of human history excluding second degree cousins from the acceptable partners pool would have been impossible. Communities were not that big.

And if my maths is correct, you only share on average 12.5% of your DNA with them

your math may be wrong, because we have very similar genomes, even compared to complete strangers. hell, even between some species.

iirc 90% of dna is the same even between humans and plants. (Don't quote me on that)
