We are about to wrap this up, and I would like to pause first and repeat something I said but failed to emphasize. The abiding presence in this field is Professor Robin Fox of Rutgers. Rather than attempt to repeat or summarize his biography in Wikipedia, I invite you to read it. So far as I know, he is the only authority I have cited who has been a bullfighter.

Back in 1967 he published Kinship and Marriage: An Anthropological Perspective, which is still a standard textbook in anthropology. Among his many interests, more than one had approached the current subject of kinship, mate choice and fertility, but it is beyond question that in that book he is in the same ballpark. Then in 2015 he wrote a chapter “Marry In or Die Out” Optimal Inbreeding and the Meaning of Mediogamy” in Handbook on Evolution and Society Print publication date: January 2015 Online publication date: November 2015.

This I think is simultaneously in the title the most terse and clear summary of the issue and in the chapter itself the first publication explaining the issue by a professional in what will be the conserved corpus of scientific writing.
