“…Inbreeding patterns in Guipú zcoa are rather similar to those recorded for other Basque territories in comparable periods of time (e.g., Alava; Calderón et al, 1993), and fit closely into the basic model of secular evolution of inbreeding recorded in other large Western European populations (Sutter and Tabah, 1948;Twiesselman et al, 1962;Moroni, 1967;Saugstad, 1977;McCullough and O'Rourke, 1986;Jorde and Pitkä nen, 1991). By contrast, in most Iberian populations, the decrease in inbreeding appears 3-4 decades later, coinciding with the takeoff of large-scale industrialization in Spain (PintoCisternas et al, 1979;Calderón, 1989;Gómez, 1989;Morales, 1992;Fuster et al, 1996).…”

“…Consanguinity studies in small and large populations of the Basque area confirmed that the rates of close consanguineous matings (uncle-niece/auntnephew and first cousins) are unusually high in comparison to most Iberian and Western European population standards (Sutter and Tabah, 1948;Moroni, 1967;Pettener, 1985;Calderón, 1989;Jorde and Pitkä nen, 1991). In contrast to this pattern, mean inbreeding levels registered over a long time span in the Spanish Basque Country are not particularly high, except for some local populations (Abelson, 1978;Zudaire, 1981;Alfonso-Sá nchez et al, 1997;Peñ a et al, 2002).…”

This work analyzes the spatial heterogeneity of consanguinity in the Basque province of Guipúzcoa (Spain), using data provided by Catholic dispensations (1862-1980). Secular trends in consanguinity rates (%M(C)) and mean inbreeding coefficient (F) were similar in the seven Guipúzcoan regions considered, with peaks between 1881-1920 and subsequently a gradual decline. Substantial differences in consanguinity characteristics emerged when the regions were classified according to level of urbanization. Principal component analysis (accounting for more than 85% of the total variance in consanguinity variables) clearly discriminated between urbanized and less urbanized regions. The latter stand out for their high consanguinity rates (3.57-6.73%), mean inbreeding coefficient (0.00112-0.00240), and M22/M33 ratio (M22, first cousins; M33, second cousins), which ranged between 0.89-1.48. Moreover, in less urbanized regions, marital consanguinity was eminently local, and mainly conditioned by regional endogamy (71.4-85.0%). By contrast, urban subpopulations showed the lowest consanguinity rates (1.60-1.96%) and mean inbreeding coefficient (around 0.0007). In these regions, the M22/M33 ratio also exhibited high values (1.07-1.56), but this time at the expense of the contribution of the immigrant group. Discussion of the factors that could have modeled this spatial variation in consanguinity centers on: 1) demographic aspects related to the chronology and intensity of industrialization, 2) the geography of the territory and the geography of peopling, and 3) linguistic differences, expressed in the uneven distribution of Basque-speakers among the different territories considered.

“…11 The partners choose each other because of physical proximity, blood relations, and social and cultural aspects, not because of either the geography of the area or the density of population. 10,12 In fact, we have noticed that the partner was chosen by his/her social Oral Communications proximity, amongst people who live in the same rural context. As a consequence, it was easier that two blood-related people could get married since they were engaged in the same economic activity, which increased among landowners who could confirm their properties.…”

The matrimonial behavior of a rural population in Haute-Vienne, France

et al. 2014

Although biodemography prefers to focus on isolated human populations, in our analysis we have considered an opened community, neither culturally nor geographically separated from the nearby communities. The aim of the present study was to reconstruct the degree of consanguinity and assess the level of openness of a certain French population through the observation of its people's matrimonial behavior. Marriages and, in general, the choice of the partner, are often affected by culture and society which affect, in the end, the community's genic pool.
