New paper on cousin marriage and honour cultures. Combining genetic data with survey data on honour cultures we show that the more a population has practised cousin marriage, the stronger the honour culture. 1/ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Why do 70% of Pashtuns say that honour killings are justified? The UNFPA estimates that 5000 women are killed every year over ‘honour’. Is this related to cousin marriage? Tremendous new paper by @OLKCampbell @padillaccc @FiorioG @tavitonst combining surveys & DNA! 🧵

"Double doors swing open... [t]en metres away sit four long faces at a table. It’s all very hush hush and deferential, as if you might be about to walk up and kiss the hands of the Pope. At least the Pope smiles". @OLKCampbell on catwalk dog work. the-fence.com/an-ugly-busine…
