Barring controversy around IQ (though it was specifically made to measure mental re.tardation so I would say it's probably fine in this case), I wonder if the consanguinous group had a bimodal IQ distribution, with some kids turning out normal and average and some being severely handicapped, or whether it was just a simple right-ward shift of the out-bred group's distribution.Consequences of consanguinity on cognitive behavior
In order to study the effects of consanguinity on IQ, a survey was conducted among the Ansari Muslims of Bhagalpur residing in suburban and rural areas. Both outbred (N=390 from suburban areas andN=358 from rural areas) and inbred (N's=300 and 266, respectively) children aged 9 to 12 years from...link.springer.com

Average consanguinity index in Muslim majority countries is between ~20% – 60% (eg. Turkey 21.1%, Arab countries: 20% – 50%, Afghanistan: 46,2%, Pakistan: 62.5%), resulting in low educational achievement (cf. situation in India) and many other medical and social deficits which correlate strongly with violent crime and social dysfunction. Tribal norms and Islamic suprematism don’t make it any better, to put it mildly.

Ghazi O Tadmouri, Pratibha Nair, Tasneem Obeid, Mahmoud T Al Ali, Najib Al Khaja, and Hanan A Hamamy.Consanguineous marriages have been practiced since the early existence of modern humans. Until now consanguinity is widely practiced in several global communities with variable rates depending on religion, culture, and geography. Arab populations have a long tradition of consanguinity due to socio-cultural factors. Many Arab countries display some of the highest rates of consanguineous marriages in the world, and specifically first cousin marriages which may reach 25-30% of all marriages. In some countries like Qatar, Yemen, and UAE, consanguinity rates are increasing in the current generation. Research among Arabs and worldwide has indicated that consanguinity could have an effect on some reproductive health parameters such as postnatal mortality and rates of congenital malformations. The association of consanguinity with other reproductive health parameters, such as fertility and fetal wastage, is controversial. The main impact of consanguinity, however, is an increase in the rate of homozygotes for autosomal recessive genetic disorders.- https://www.csmonitor.com/2006/1226/p09s01-coop.htmlClan loyalty fixed by cousin marriage was always bound to undermine democracy in Iraq. […] Cousin marriage, especially the unique form practiced in the Middle East, creates clans of fierce internal cohesiveness and loyalty. So in addition to sectarian violence in Iraq, the US may also be facing a greater intensity of inter-clan violence than it saw in Vietnam or the ferocious Lebanese civil war. […]Anthropologist Stanley Kurtz has described Middle East clans as „governments in miniature“ that provide the services and social aid that Americans routinely receive from their national, state, and local governments. No one in a region without stable, fair government can survive outside a strong, unified, respected clan. […]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2613253Consanguinity and reproductive health in Iraq.This study investigated the consanguinity rate of 233 families with severely disturbed reproductive health […], the rate of congenital malformations was found to be highly correlated with the consanguinity rate of these families.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2765422%5B…%5D Negative Effects of Consanguinity on Reproductive HealthConsanguinity and Congenital MalformationsApproximately 3-5% of all live newborns have a medically significant birth defect. The recent report by March of Dimes estimated birth defects to be >69.9/1000 live births in most Arab countries, as opposed to <52.1/1000 live births in Europe, North America and Australia [27]. Lower observed rates of 7.92/1000 births and 12.5/1000 births were registered in the UAE and Kuwait, respectively [28,29]. In Oman, among 21,988 births, 24.6 per 1000 births had major malformations [30]. Differences in birth defect rates in different countries and studies could be attributed to true differences among different populations or to different definitions of birth defects, different methods, and different time periods for ascertainment. The risk of birth defects in first-cousin marriages may be estimated to be 2-2.5 times the general population rate, mainly due to the expression of autosomal recessive disorders [23,31-33]. Another estimate puts the offspring of first cousin unions at a 1.7-2.8% increased risk for congenital defects above the population background risk. […]Frequency of consanguineous marriages was higher among parents of offspring with congenital malformations compared with the figures for the general population in all studies reported among Arabs, including in the UAE [28,35-37], Kuwait [29], Oman [30,38,39], Iraq [40,41], Jordan [42,43], Egypt [44], Lebanon [4,45], Tunisia [46], Arabs in Jerusalem [33], and Saudi Arabia [47].

Another barrier that’s perhaps even more imposing than cultural distrust is found in a a Saudi study that discovered, “90% of couples detected as carriers did not follow the advice they were given and went ahead with their marriages.” Couples aimed at matrimony, it seems, either believe in “fate” or in odds that will favor the health of their family.- Turkey

They weren't just physically crippled, they suffered from multiple mental defects too. I'm too lazy to pull up specifics but Charles V had epilepsy, for one, and I wouldn't be surprised if most of the line suffered from "fits of madness." They also had child mortality rates up to 50%, extremely long development times (Charles II was raised as an infant until he was 10, "he didn't learn to talk until he was four and couldn't walk until the age of eight."), and they ended up dying out because they physically could not breed anymore.
Jewish couples are frequently advised to get genetic testing before they have children because of this. Since screening for Tay-Sachs disease (the most common Jewish genetic disease) was introduced in the 70s, rates of Jews born with it have gone down by 90%. Ashkenazi Jews (the ones who are Diet White and invented bagels) are way less likely to marry their cousins than the ones who stayed in the Middle East, though.Huh, my relatives are incest couple who always bragged that their kids are gonna be super smart because of this.
