It's weird that inbreeding does such devastating impact on ones life. Considering how DNA between two unrelated people is so little different....like it's smaller than 0.1% yet it affects speech, eyes, behavior, skull shape etc.
I’ve heard it’s because of recessive genes of deformities and health problems within families that are extremely unlikely to be shared with a stranger but with your family, especially closer related those biological problems basically multiply each other because it’s much more present Could be wrong but it’s what I’ve learnt
@@shortcake9046 Pretty good explanation. It's the same concept in animal breeding. Take German Shepherds, they were really inbred early on, but even after that stopped people were breeding them to the AKC standard of having a low butt (froggy back legs) so they'd breed GSDs with that trait compounding on it. Since the predisposition became more and more intense, without inbreeding necessary, it became very severe and the AKC actually had to start disqualifying GSDs that were too froggy to prevent severe health issues in the breed. Now imagine that compounded by all the same genetic issues because the relationship is much closer. Also, it's usually not going to be a one generation thing. Line breeding in cattle is a good example of balancing inbreeding with hybrid vigor. You could also look at the most inbred royal line in Europe, the Hapsburgs, and see how long and to what degree they were inbred and what level of deformity came with it.
@@genevievec.8002 yeah the dog breeding system looks so screwed from what I’ve seen since so many ‘cute’ traits cause serious health problems for the animals but because people keep buying them they keep being bred to be unwell
It doesn't, not initially. The first generation, even just ordinary siblings is a very slight increase in deformities and so forth. But once you have 3-4 generations of inbreeding, thats when the trouble starts because the faulty genes and chromosomes compile for each generation.

Mark, thank you for sharing all of the people You've shared with us. Thank you also for all you've done to help this family. You are an amazing person.
They are really sweet people though, I’ve watched a few of the documentaries. I agree they had no choice of course, they’re making the best with what they were given. And I’m pretty sure the neighbourhood is very protective about them because In reality they’re vulnerable.
I have been a genealogist since 1976. I have studied over a hundred thousand familial relationships going back centuries. First, while inbreeding is generally not a good idea, you do NOT get this level of deformity from just two first cousins mating. This is a multigenerational thing at the very least. Look at the Hapsburgs of Spain as an example of what NOT to do. First one or two generations nothing serious but then you can see the progression of deformity increase as one goes down the generations. This family is at the very least on the same level or worse and this had to happen as a result of at least four or five generations of repeated inbreeding. I also want to point out that marriage between first cousins is legal in 19 states and this is due in large part to the low risk of medical issues from just the one time. Now if you repeat this two more generations you will probably see some issues arising and another one or two generations and you get this family. I also want to point out that first cousin marriage is more common than you think and is not new. It is less common now due to people moving around more. But in small remote villages where people don't travel from home often, you will see first cousins marrying quite common. So far I have not seen a single 8 generation human pedigree without at least one example. I have several in my family from the 17th century and their children were normal and well educated. But it did not repeat ever going back five hundred years. But one thing about incest is it usually cures itself over time. After a few generations, the product of repeated incest is incapable of reproducing which is why the last Hapsburg died without any children.
Something that isnt said here is that their neighbors also help take care of them and protect them. How do i know this? A family member of mine (who loves in WV) saw the documentary, and went and brought them food and stuff. Their neighbors were very mich trying to protect them. I thinks thats really kinda sweet
All my family is from Tennessee & Alabama. I’ve never lived back there, but visited often. A friend of mine’s family has deep roots in Kentucky. He says this used to happen all over back there, basically because the cabins/houses were separated by so many hills, mountains & valleys. You could spend 2 days walking to the closest neighbor’s house only to learn they didn’t have any girl children, or when they did, she might not want anything to do with them. Their sisters were right there next to them
Where im from this isnt unheard of. Im glad Mark introduces people to the leaser realized demographics in our country. They didnt choose their position in life. There's no reason to make fun and ostracize them. The way that their neighbors and community protect them is beautiful
Yeah there seems to be more than 1 or 2 generations of incest going on here. Remember the cousin marrying Habsburgs and sibling marrying Pharoahs went generations or even centuries without serious problems.
I had a friend in high school who is a aunt-nephew child and he is normal 😂😂 there's no way these people's parents are only cousins and that they are the 1st inbred generation
You do realize this is from generations of inbreeding right? The parents were just as messed up. And the siblings we see here had another kid themselves. The youngest one isn’t a sibling, he’s the child of two of them….
@@Moonbathingqueenwho are you referring to? Because Tim was a product of an assault that happened to Lorraine. The person who assaulted her wasn’t a relative.
Their physical deformities and mental disabilities is the result of incest and inbreeding. They are being loved and are happy with and to.each other. If you're so compassionate, why don't you have them come live with you, and you can give them the love and happiness you think they deserve, in your house. After all, those are your distant cousins!! I bet my next pay check, you wouldn't do it. Hypocrite! 😂
It's so sad and heartbreaking, I guess it's lack of options, is why they inbred , that's the only reason I can think of for why this family has done this.
I personally don't believe this to be cousins work though. This gotta be siblings getting together or parents sleeping with their kid's type of work. I don't believe cousins getting together will have this affect. I need a genealogy chart to prove they parents were cousins.
On a lighter note: a while ago, a magazine article featured the story of two HS friends, both adopted, who wanted to help each other to find their biological families. The students were male & female. Good thing they were just friends. They discovered that they were twin siblings. And the chances were?!
I feel so bad for these people. And only one out of the bunch can actually speak... it's heartbreaking. I truly do hope they live and have lived their best lives despite their inability to communicate thoroughly :( heart goes out to them
I don’t think their inability to communicate is due to inbreeding. I think it’s due to a lack of proper education or special education as the case may be.
@@yusrabintrabah2553bro just bcuz its cultural doesnt mean its ok, in some cultures fgm is ok and yet its outlawed in my country. Eating junkfood is too normalized in the western world, yet its not ok
No judgement to them, specifically. But in order for them to be that deformed, the incest would have had to have been going on for multiple generations. Meaning their parents saw what the inbreeding was doing to their gene pool and decided to keep doing it anyway
First cousin babies would be nowhere as bad as this. Heck, sibling babies wouldn't be this bad as well. This is the result of multiple generations of inbreeding
If you keep the cousin marriage tradition for years maybe then this could happen but I guess normal people after the first two cousin marriages would be like "wait a minute let's stop this because now the family tree doesn't even make any sense" ..
It's also because of dirty water drugs alcohol or any other addictive substances. It's also because of yes severe inbreeding or just having the unlucky genetic jackpot.
@@tammycaldwell968 That is no excuse at all! By the time children grow into adulthood, they should realize that these people have no responsibility about who they are or their conditions.
Queen Victoria married her first cousin named Albert. They shared the same grandparents. Their son Leopold had hemophilia directly caused by inbreeding. Fun fact.
King Edward, Czar Nicholas, and Kiser Wilhelm, were all first cousins, and leaders of England, Russia, And Germany at the start of ww1, all grandkids of Queen Victoria.
They had a man named Mark helping them out and he started a go fund me for them. Well then they lied about things to him and i think he's finally done helping them.
That family is very similar to royal families in history. Royals kept intermarrying to maintain their blue blood, but many of these royal children became mentally and physically challenged. Then the royals (or their advisors) learned to procure brides from other royal families in other countries to maintain blue blood, and gain more land and political power
In 1990 I worked as a nurse in a children's home in Hungary where babies abandoned by inbred parents were also hospitalized. Now I live in Italy and my ex former married neighbors were first cousins,they had 3 children one more disabled then the other :-(
@@osyasa6255 they have been inbreeding for generations already. why do you think so many are low iq. the way they go at it they probably do not know who their brothers and sisters are.
Lived in West Virginia my whole life , never met these people or anyone like them but I know they will be safe here to live in peace without being attacked or killed
The sad part is, it end up being a cycle that just gets worse. Two relatives get together and have kids, those kids grow up thinking its normal and do it again, and as it continues the family becomes more isolated and often has sexual abuse (it already does since incest is sexual abuse, but it often ends up where the parents abuse the children) and as the inbreeding continues, mental issues arise that just make it worse (often impulsivity) and eventually the parents cant even care for the children. Thats probably why one of them only communicates in barks and growls: isolation and neglect from the rest of the family.
unless they purposefully made the lives of their children harder than it needs to be thanks to their genetic coding then its their fault if the kid suffers because of its own body
No “double cousins.” Their grandfathers were twins, same DNA. Their children (cousins) married, (a girl from one grandfather/boy from other grandfather), hence the inbreeding.
@@Yreev Their grandfathers were twins that I believe married sisters from another family. Which still would have been okay. But the children of these marriages “double cousins” married each other, with the resulting inbred children. You can’t marry someone who has the same father (DNA) as you. Try to picture your spouse’s father is also your father (DNA-wise). They needed to marry outside the family. Instead they married each other and had inbred children.
They called him out of money. That girl named BJ said Larry was dead,but he wasn't. Then Larry called Mark to con him out of money, saying he had taken BJ to North Carolina, and he never did. So sad

I loved watching them. They knew nothing about the outside world. They were happy with their lives. They didn’t know any better.
Then why did you expose them to the public?
so to hampsters.
Thank you for being positive. I feel so bad for the ones that had no choice in the matter
They are really sweet people though, I’ve watched a few of the documentaries. I agree they had no choice of course, they’re making the best with what they were given. And I’m pretty sure the neighbourhood is very protective about them because In reality they’re vulnerable.

Why would you want to change your versions of the gods will ?
Why aren't you happy with their decisions ?
I have been a genealogist since 1976. I have studied over a hundred thousand familial relationships going back centuries. First, while inbreeding is generally not a good idea, you do NOT get this level of deformity from just two first cousins mating. This is a multigenerational thing at the very least. Look at the Hapsburgs of Spain as an example of what NOT to do. First one or two generations nothing serious but then you can see the progression of deformity increase as one goes down the generations. This family is at the very least on the same level or worse and this had to happen as a result of at least four or five generations of repeated inbreeding.
I also want to point out that marriage between first cousins is legal in 19 states and this is due in large part to the low risk of medical issues from just the one time. Now if you repeat this two more generations you will probably see some issues arising and another one or two generations and you get this family.
I also want to point out that first cousin marriage is more common than you think and is not new. It is less common now due to people moving around more. But in small remote villages where people don't travel from home often, you will see first cousins marrying quite common. So far I have not seen a single 8 generation human pedigree without at least one example. I have several in my family from the 17th century and their children were normal and well educated. But it did not repeat ever going back five hundred years. But one thing about incest is it usually cures itself over time. After a few generations, the product of repeated incest is incapable of reproducing which is why the last Hapsburg died without any children.
It’s really heartbreaking and sad but I have heard that the townspeople there are very protective and kind to them 🙏🙏🙏
Whatever their ancestors did with each other, it has successfully ruined the lives of their descendants. Theres no coming back from that.
There are no descendants, without the actions of their ancestors...

Something that isnt said here is that their neighbors also help take care of them and protect them. How do i know this? A family member of mine (who loves in WV) saw the documentary, and went and brought them food and stuff. Their neighbors were very mich trying to protect them. I thinks thats really kinda sweet
Awwww that's so sweet 😊🥺😭
Yeah, it took forever for this guy could get their ok to make this documentary
All my family is from Tennessee & Alabama. I’ve never lived back there, but visited often. A friend of mine’s family has deep roots in Kentucky. He says this used to happen all over back there, basically because the cabins/houses were separated by so many hills, mountains & valleys. You could spend 2 days walking to the closest neighbor’s house only to learn they didn’t have any girl children, or when they did, she might not want anything to do with them. Their sisters were right there next to them
That's good to hear. They need kind souls looking after them. I worry about Ray, Timmy, and Lorraine so much if something were to happen to Betty.
Where im from this isnt unheard of.
Im glad Mark introduces people to the leaser realized demographics in our country. They didnt choose their position in life. There's no reason to make fun and ostracize them. The way that their neighbors and community protect them is beautiful
I heard the parents worked in coal mines all there life and that made had affects on all the kids
Yeah there seems to be more than 1 or 2 generations of incest going on here. Remember the cousin marrying Habsburgs and sibling marrying Pharoahs went generations or even centuries without serious problems.
nah it's gotta be more than just 2@@arthas640
@@arthas640 Methinks King Tut would disagree with this....
That is certainly some of it, but most of these issues are likely from inbreeding.
I had a friend in high school who is a aunt-nephew child and he is normal 😂😂 there's no way these people's parents are only cousins and that they are the 1st inbred generation
Next time I see siblings on instagram or TikTok who say they're dating, I'm sending them this in their dms on an anonymous account.

Doesn’t matter what issues or deformities someone may have. They all deserve to be loved and feel happiness.
Their physical deformities and mental disabilities is the result of incest and inbreeding. They are being loved and are happy with and to.each other. If you're so compassionate, why don't you have them come live with you, and you can give them the love and happiness you think they deserve, in your house. After all, those are your distant cousins!! I bet my next pay check, you wouldn't do it. Hypocrite! 😂

It’s so sad and heartbreaking
For whatever reasons they turned out to be the way they are
It's so sad and heartbreaking, I guess it's lack of options, is why they inbred , that's the only reason I can think of for why this family has done this.
They're giving "The Hills Have Eyes" vibes! No, I'm sure they're lovely folks!
“Go play with the neighbors!”
The neighbors:
@pleasereadmydescribtion29369fr
@pleasereadmydescribtion29369 Fr. These comments are getting annoying.
They didn't ask to be born like that! They take care of each other and actually: their neighbors also look out for them and take care of them.
why is it always the people with letters as their pfps that get mad about clear jokes
@@CathrynMcCoy I'm guessing your one of those inbred too?
Their grandparents were twin brothers whose children, who were first cousins, married each other!
I personally don't believe this to be cousins work though. This gotta be siblings getting together or parents sleeping with their kid's type of work. I don't believe cousins getting together will have this affect. I need a genealogy chart to prove they parents were cousins.
@@Godfirst986I know a guy who's parents are aunt-nephew , these people must be the results of parent-child matings
On a lighter note: a while ago, a magazine article featured the story of two HS friends, both adopted, who wanted to help each other to find their biological families. The students were male & female. Good thing they were just friends. They discovered that they were twin siblings. And the chances were?!

I feel so bad for these people. And only one out of the bunch can actually speak... it's heartbreaking. I truly do hope they live and have lived their best lives despite their inability to communicate thoroughly :( heart goes out to them
I don’t think their inability to communicate is due to inbreeding. I think it’s due to a lack of proper education or special education as the case may be.
I know far too many people who marry first cousins and have children with no disabilities, this is definitely NOT from one generation of first cousins
"far too many" scares me
@nolitimere11 in the UK its legal and common and is found in various cultures around the world and most religions

As much as they're different...they seem to make it all work! No judgements here and much appreciation to the people who reached out to help them!!
No judgement to them, specifically. But in order for them to be that deformed, the incest would have had to have been going on for multiple generations. Meaning their parents saw what the inbreeding was doing to their gene pool and decided to keep doing it anyway
They seem happy at least. They have brilliant smiles

Just how far back in generations does this family go 😮
I'm so sad about the deformity of some of the family members I that they live happily.😢😢
Who ever is laughing about them is very Evel.
First cousin babies would be nowhere as bad as this. Heck, sibling babies wouldn't be this bad as well. This is the result of multiple generations of inbreeding
If you keep the cousin marriage tradition for years maybe then this could happen but I guess normal people after the first two cousin marriages would be like "wait a minute let's stop this because now the family tree doesn't even make any sense"
..
It's also because of dirty water drugs alcohol or any other addictive substances. It's also because of yes severe inbreeding or just having the unlucky genetic jackpot.
Their severe disabilities are not their fault. Please, all haters try to remember that.
People only know what they are taught.

no he didnt lie. You can watch the explanation. The person that "exposed" him is being cancelled now lol
That family is very similar to royal families in history. Royals kept intermarrying to maintain their blue blood, but many of these royal children became mentally and physically challenged. Then the royals (or their advisors) learned to procure brides from other royal families in other countries to maintain blue blood, and gain more land and political power
I'm so glad someone actually said this. I'm almost certain that this isn't the most inbred family, it's gotta be the Royal families in history.
Yes@@Nikko437
In 1990 I worked as a nurse in a children's home in Hungary where babies abandoned by inbred parents were also hospitalized.

Lived in West Virginia my whole life , never met these people or anyone like them but I know they will be safe here to live in peace without being attacked or killed
The sad part is, it end up being a cycle that just gets worse. Two relatives get together and have kids, those kids grow up thinking its normal and do it again, and as it continues the family becomes more isolated and often has sexual abuse (it already does since incest is sexual abuse, but it often ends up where the parents abuse the children) and as the inbreeding continues, mental issues arise that just make it worse (often impulsivity) and eventually the parents cant even care for the children. Thats probably why one of them only communicates in barks and growls: isolation and neglect from the rest of the family.

People are people. Stay kind to everyone.
unless they purposefully made the lives of their children harder than it needs to be thanks to their genetic coding
then its their fault if the kid suffers because of its own body
Nah this is due to brother and sister having kids. Not cousins
More like several generations of no new blood - even second cousins can quickly become more closely "related" than actual siblings!
No “double cousins.” Their grandfathers were twins, same DNA. Their children (cousins) married, (a girl from one grandfather/boy from other grandfather), hence the inbreeding.
@@babylonisfallen5142I legitimately couldn't make sense of this. Wtf happened to their family? 😭
@@Yreev Their grandfathers were twins that I believe married sisters from another family. Which still would have been okay. But the children of these marriages “double cousins” married each other, with the resulting inbred children. You can’t marry someone who has the same father (DNA) as you. Try to picture your spouse’s father is also your father (DNA-wise). They needed to marry outside the family. Instead they married each other and had inbred children.
Saw this family years ago in a psychology course. Just incredible
They interviewed people in WV who said the in breeding is very real
I’ve watched every one of Mark’s videos on the Whitaker’s. They are the sweetest family I’ve ever met.
They called him out of money. That girl named BJ said Larry was dead,but he wasn't. Then Larry called Mark to con him out of money, saying he had taken BJ to North Carolina, and he never did. So sad
