I understand the claim; it doesn't sound *necessarily*
wrong. But what examples of a "healthy and vibrant"
people that have actually occurred in history do you
have in mind? The only examples---and they preceded
highly technological societies---were very inbred, and
took care of each other because they were all kin or
all were of the same ethnic group.
