GENETIC AND QUANTITATIVE ASPECTS OF GENEALOGY
BY F. M. LANCASTER
OCTOBER 2005 (Updated February 2015)
The following monograph is mainly concerned with the classification, graphic representation, measurement and coding of human relationships. It also explains the significance and harmful consequences of inbreeding. Other aspects of genealogy included are: generation intervals, legal constraints on the marriage of relatives and present rules for the inheritance of property.

SUPPLEMENT TO GENETIC AND QUANTITATIVE ASPECTS OF GENEALOGY The main purpose of the following supplement is to anticipate and answer those questions most frequently asked about the genetic and quantitative aspects of genealogy and relationships. A secondary aim is to enlarge on certain specialised topics, which were only briefly covered in the monograph, but which may be of further interest. |
