Why don't most men in African red mud tribes live to be 15 years old?
Legend has it that the red mud tribe has genetic problems, so men can't live to be fifteen years old. I don't think so. With a history of more than 500 years, it is impossible to say that all the people who created this tribe are close relatives. Several brothers found several women and founded a tribe. Many women are polygamous, and few women are polygamous. As long as you continue your life and finally confuse your genes, a man's life still stays at fifteen!
Second, for the continuation of the tribe, their close relatives got married!
People in the red mud tribe can't marry foreigners. There are few tribes and few men. The ratio of male to female has reached 1: 1 1. The smaller the number, the higher the possibility of consanguineous marriage. In today's red mud tribe, women can get pregnant as long as they are pregnant, and it doesn't matter whether the pregnant child is their own. The tribe was chaotic when it was first built, so it used to be chaotic.
Third, the marriage problem is chaotic, and children are related by blood, so it is possible to change the genes of the past!
Maybe when the tribe was first established, the genetic problem was not so serious. With the gradual decrease of population, the relationship between husband and wife and brother and sister has become as messy as it is now in order to continue their tribe. If you can't figure it out, just let it be. In my opinion, the Red Mud Tribe is just a big family with more than 20,000 blood ties. It is estimated that it is difficult to find a couple who are not related by blood at home!
Now there are fewer and fewer people in the tribe, and some people have integrated into the society. They put on their clothes and walked out of the tribe. I wonder how long the children born by their marriage to men can live in normal society. The times are progressing. As the last primitive tribe in Africa, it has gradually integrated modern elements!
I think the red mud tribe may disappear in the future, and polygamy will not change the situation of sharp population decline. Defective DNA has become a fatal wound. Men can live to 15 years old, and the mortality rate of male children has reached a quarter. Either try to change or obey god's will!
The short life span of men is related to red mud. What is this red mud, which can prevent mosquitoes and keep the skin dry? Is it toxic, harmless to women, only to men? Of course, this is my fantasy. There must be something wrong with the genes of the red mud tribe. Why on earth is unknown, like an unsolved mystery!
