Yes, of course you are correct about Hemophilia.  The same would have 
happened if two unrelated carriers of the hemophilia gene mated though.  The 
inbreeding just propagated the bad gene.  Same happens in dogs.  When you 
identify a problem you move away from it breeding wise.  My observation was 
only in response to the Jack "the Ripper" reference.

Also, regarding human in-breeding; are you familiar with "Jack The Ripper?"
One very creditable theory pegs him as a member of The British Royal Family.
That is the reason that The Vaunted Scotland Yard never solved the case.>>

I just wondered how you could tell that criminal deviant behavior like this 
was due to inbreeding?
