What we now see as an abomination, not too many centuries ago was a relatively common practice. Without going any further, the royal houses of Europe were dedicated for generations to mix cousins with cousins, nephews with nieces\u2026 And so came more than one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Fortunately, this practice is extinct today. Or, at least, in theory<\/strong>. While having relations with your relatives is legal, getting married is not, and this has made the former frowned upon in almost all cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They speak in grunts and are called the Whittakers.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Redefining everything stays in the family. The howling of an inbred family sounds like something out of a B-movie. However, one photographer has proven that such communities do exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Laita has documented the secret life <\/strong>of the Whittakers, also known as “America’s most inbred family,” whose members only communicate with grunts and bark at passersby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laita described his first encounter with the Whittakers, who live in the mountain town of Odd, West Virginia, home to 779 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
