To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It ishardly safe to go to the other extreme and to assert thatconsanguinity diminishes masculinity. The safest, and withal the mostreasonable conclusion is that consanguinity in the parents has noappreciable effect upon the sex of the child. CHAPTER IV CONSANGUINITY AND REPRODUCTION The principal object of nearly every previous discussion of theintermarriage of kindred, has been either to prove or to disprove somealleged injurious effect upon the offspring. The writers who havetreated the subje...ct may be divided into three groups. First, those whohave maintained in accordance with popular opinion that consanguinity_per se_ is a cause of degeneracy or that in some mysterious waykinship of the parents produces certain diseases in the children. Inthis group Boudin in France and Bemiss in America are typical. Second, those who have flatly contradicted this position and have assertedthat on the whole such marriages are beneficial, and that crossing isin itself injurious to the race. Huth is the chief exponent of thistheory, although he admits that where degenerate conditions exist inthe parents consanguinity in marriage may not be beneficial.
