#1 Given the inbreeding that occurred before this close inbreeding, the group is severly retarded. And, given the remote location and acceptable freakiness of the family, I doubt there is much to interest geneticists, just psychiatrists.

#4 Genetics is so wide open that geneticists always find at least something interesting. If nothing else, situations of extended inbreeding are fairly rare, but may have been more common and contributed much to human evolution.

That is, small clusters of dispered people would tend to interbreed, unless they were nomadic and met other small clusters. And once an inbred cluster had become too large, it would have to break apart, doubling their chances for genetic diversity. Other variables, I'm sure.

This would mean periods of reinforced traits and periods of diversity.
