The Relationship Between Family and Nationality
Thursday, August 9th, 2007Everyone agrees that we have a higher loyalty to our families than to perfect strangers, much less people across the world. In this article, using the family of Charles Darwin as an example, Steve Sailer demonstrates the concept of “pedigree collapse”, where the sheer number of ancestors a few generations back in one’s family tree pretty much mandates some degree of cousin marriage in history. This is why national-level loyalties (in the traditional “nation” sense of sharing common birth, not merely people with whom we happen to share citizenship in the federal empire) are as equally rational as family loyalties.
