Using a sample of 681 individuals, the authors found that Himba exhibit elevated levels of 'inbreeding', calculated as the fraction of the genome in runs of homozygosity (FROH). Many individuals contained multiple long segments of ROH in their genomes, indicating that their parents had high kinship coefficients. However, there was no evidence found that this was explained by first-cousin consanguinity, despite a reported social preference for cross-cousin marriages. Rather, they found that elevated haplotype sharing in the Himba is due to a bottleneck, likely in the past 60 generations. Of married couples self-reported to be related, 15 were described as first cousins, 3 were described as first cousins once removed,...more
