My recollection is that research on Y-chromosome DNA has shown that men
remain fairly stationary (not surprising given that most cultures are
patrilocal), but that mitochondrial DNA shows that women move much
farther - so that inbreeding may not be all that common. And did you ever
wonder what the real purpose of the county fair was?
JE:-
Tribal studies indicate that the females more than the males are moved
(mostly against their will) between tribes for outbreeding purposes. However
today, mostly in the 1st world, we attempt to live in free democratic super
sized tribes in a monogamous way. However, we remain adapted to an ancient,
non democratic and polygamous tribal lifestyle. Our psychology is tribal but
our reasoning is super tribal. This produces a conflict in morality among
(many) other things. The tribe was our most important and spectacular
adaptation. It allowed Crow Magnon to live in and migrate to, just about
every environment on this planet. Dominant polygamous males within tribes
employed females as a reproductive resource which could be exchanged between
tribes redistributing female genes more widely than male genes.
