Consanguineous Marriages in the American Population by George B. Louis Arner
"Consanguineous Marriages in the American Population" by George B. Louis Arner is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work explores the prevalence, effects, and social implications of intermarriage among relatives in the American context, examining both statistical data and various sociological arguments surrounding the topic. The opening of the monograph introduces the purpose of the study, which is to present data on consanguineous marriages and their impact on
society, particularly focusing on health outcomes for offspring. Arner notes that previous investigations have been limited by the lack of solid statistical evidence and outlines the fragmented data he has collected from genealogical sources. He emphasizes the need for more comprehensive studies, especially through governmental census efforts, to understand better the dynamics of these marriages and their implications, including effects on reproductive outcomes and public perception. Through a preliminary look at case studies, particularly from isolated communities, Arner aims to set the stage for a thorough exploration of this important social and scientific issue.
