European Tribes

I have mentioned the change in family structure, and likely enormous changes in economy, violence, and corruption in Europe thereby, because of the ban on consanguinous marriage by the Roman Catholic Church over a thousand years ago.  It's a major theme over at hbd*chick and a fascinating possibility.  She had a summary post in 2011 on the disappearance of European Tribes that includes cool maps and a long comment section.

Incredibly interesting take on what kind of society democracy can flourish in.

I wonder what the consanguinity practices were like in the Golden Age of Greece?
