#consanguinity — Public Fediverse posts

So, my cousin had a baby, how do you call this kind of #kinship?

As it turns out, the term differs a lot from #language to language:

#English: first cousin once removed.

#French: little cousin (petite-cousine)

#German: niece of the second degree (Nichte zweiten Grades)

#Esperanto: second ranked niece (duaranga nevino)

How do you say in your language? 🤗

🇮🇹 **Archaeogenetics reconstructs demography and extreme parental consanguinity in a Bronze Age community from Southern Italy**

"_The community shows closer genetic affinity to Early Bronze Age Sicilians than to contemporaneous populations from the Italian peninsula. However, unlike contemporary Sicilian individuals, they lack eastern genetic influences, suggesting distinct ancestral trajectories and interaction networks among Bronze Age populations._"
