	What Is a First Cousin, Twice Removed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		You and your first cousins are in the same generation (two generations younger than your grandparents), so the word "removed" is not used to describe your relationship.
		This is because your mother's first cousin is one generation younger than your grandparents and you are two generations younger than your grandparents.
		You are two generations younger than a first cousin of your grandmother, so you and your grandmother's first cousin are first cousins, twice removed.

	Cousin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cousin chart, or table of consanguinity, is a chart that identifies cousin relationships using a most recent common ancestor as a reference points.
		First and second cousins for instance, use ordinal numbers to specify the number of generations between individuals and a common ancestor.
		They would already automatically be first cousins due to the fact that they are children of one of their parent's siblings, but in this case the children of their mother's sibling, are also the children of their father's sibling, and thus they are double first cousins.

	First Cousin Preference vs. Mate Choice Copying in Determining Japanese Quail Female Mate Choice
		One hypothesis is that the genetic preference for first cousins is so strong that it outweighs the social factor of mate choice copying (MCC), even if the male selected by the model female is unrelated to the focus female; in this case, the focus female consistently chooses her first cousin.
		The third bird in each trial is easily selected: each focus female has a male sibling corresponding to each of her first cousins, and unrelated males are chosen from the 24 which are not related to the focus female.
		It is the first evidence of a social influence consistently outweighing a genetic one in determining mate choice, and requires a radical restructuring of commonly held conceptions about mate choice.

	USATODAY.com - Research downplays risk of cousin marriages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Marriage between first cousins, long a major legal, social and religious taboo, is far less likely to produce abnormal children than is commonly believed, a study by leading genetics researchers says.
		The researchers concluded that children of marriages between cousins inherited recessive genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis and Tay-Sachs disease, in 7% to 8% of cases.
		Because first cousins share a pair of grandparents, the chances are greater that each will pass a copy of a "bad gene" to their child, triggering the disorder.

	BBC NEWS \| Programmes \| Newsnight \| Your views: Cousin marriage
		Marriage between cousins is part of the lifestyle choice of many of her constituents, although I myself don't intend to marry a first cousin.
		It is not the odd person marrying their cousin that is the problem, it is the obsession with recursive cousin marriage that occurs within a family for generations that causes the most damage.
		Marriage with first (or second) cousins is irresponsible because of the high rate of adverse health effects (hereditary disease, mental retardation) in children, and it is one step removed from incest.

	Gene Expression: Cousin be perty, part n
		When I was in Bangladesh last year an ignorant distant cousin of mine was defending her choice of marrying another cousin (not someone I was related to) because she stated that unless "blood groups are the same" it isn't really much of a problem.
		The proportion of first cousin matings being c within the population, and q being the frequency of the recessive allele in question.
		So, Lei is correct that when she states that "children of non-related couples have a 2-3% risk of birth defects, as opposed to first cousins having a 4-6% risk," but looking at this issue on a population wide level one can see that the cost vs. benefit analysis might lead to being less sanguine.

	Marriage, cousin definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Since first cousins share a set of grandparents, for any particular allele (gene) in the father, the chance that the mother inherited the same allele from the same source is 1/8.
		And for any gene the father passes to his child, the chance is 1/8 that the mother has the same gene and ½ that she transmits it to the child, so 1/8 X ½ = 1/16.
		The added risks for first cousins depend not only upon this coefficient of inbreeding but also upon their genetic family histories and, in some cases, upon test results (for example, for the risk of beta thalassemia in first cousins of Greek or Italian descent).

		But as striking as she was, long, thin and all white, it wasn't necessarily the sight of her—which was wondrous enough—that released, early, my prepubescent hormones from their biological time sac, it was her smell.
		And my cousin, who had come to visit with her family for the first time from Texas, where, for all I knew, they didn't have either tobacco or honeysuckle, brought with her the unlikely mix of these two distinct odors, and it changed my world of short attention to a single mind.
