About this book
The book is Consanguineous Marriages in the American Population, by George B. Louis Arner, Ph.D., University Fellow in Sociology, 1908. The preface says the monograph does not claim to treat exhaustively, nor to offer a final solution of all the problems which have been connected with the marriage of kin. The preface says the statistics which have been gathered, and which are presented in the following pages, are fragmentary, and usually bear upon single phases of the subject.
The text says that by far the greater part of the literature of consanguineous marriage is of a controversial rather than of a scientific nature. The text says the origin of prohibited degrees is only conjectural. The text says Mayet considers a case hereditary if any near relative of the subject suffered from mental or nervous disorder, or was intemperate.
