Yo!
Ok, enough of that!
My MC in a novel I am working on lives in a very primitive tribe (culturaly based off of the native American Indians) They are very loyal to their clan family and never mate anyone from another tribe or leave their tribe. There are roughly about thirty people in the clan.
But this is the issue: At some point they would have to start mating with people that they would be related to. Thirty is a pretty small number too. I haven't a clue about this stuff but I do know that it can lead to genetic problems. I really don't know what I should do about this. I want to emphasize the fact that they are very close and tribalistic but I don't want my characters to have genetic problems. And again thrity is kind of small. Would there be any genetic problems? I just don't know anything about this stuff. Thanks a lot if you can help!
EDIT: Yes I suppose I could have them just find partners from outside their tribe but if i can have it this way I would prefer it, thanks
