I can answer that.
Without inbreeding, there could be no bammers. So inbreeding was the etiology of bammers. Saw it in an old medical textbook, but just cannot find it for a direct quote and bibliography reference ("link" for you youngsters) However, bammers have perpetuated and perfected the inbreeding process.![]()
Doc - there was a book that I heard about some ten years ago that concerned the "blue people" from Kentucky that were inbreds and sometimes their skin color would be blue tinted. I was in a small community in Harlan County and actually seen a couple of them in the mid-1980's and was told they were the offspring of a brother-sister relationship. Really sad, both were in their 40's and neither could talk, they would just squeal and point. Also heard that many of the offspring of these Kentucky people (like those in Harlan County) ended up moving to Bammer. Inbreeding is apparently a way of life in Bammer.
