| ARTICLES RELATED TO endogamy | | | |  endogamy: Encyclopedia II - Wang Mang - As acting emperorBecause the young Emperor Ping had not had any children by his wife Empress Wang or any of his concubines, there was no heir. Further, by that point, Emperor Ping's grandfather, Emperor Yuan had no surviving male issue. The progeny of Emperor Ping's great-grandfather Emperor Xuan were therefore examined as possible successors.
There were 53 great-grandsons of Emperor Xuan then still living by this stage, but they were all adults, and Wang Mang disliked that fact -- he wanted a child whom he could control. Therefore, he declared that i ...

| | | | | endogamy: Encyclopedia II - Wang Mang - Middle reign: agrarian rebellions For a while, despite the failures of Wang's policies, the people were generally obedient. About 17, as the burdens from the wars and the corruption continued to increase, however, several agrarian rebellions started and took hold, partly because of a major famine in Jing Prefecture (modern Hubei, Hunan, and southern Henan). The more significant ones include:
Guatian Yi (瓜田儀), who occupied territory in modern Suzhou, Jiangsu.
Old Lady Lü (呂母), whose son was a minor civil servant who was wrongly killed by the c ...

| | | | | endogamy: Encyclopedia II - Wang Mang - Early life and career Wang Mang was the son of Wang Man (王曼), the younger brother of Empress Wang Zhengjun, and his wife Qu (渠, family name unknown), born in 45 BC. Wang Man died early, while Wang Mang was young, before Empress Wang became empress dowager when her son Emperor Cheng took the throne, and unlike most of his brothers, did not have the opportunity to become a marquess. Empress Wang had pity on his family, and after she herself was widowed ...

| | | | | endogamy: Encyclopedia II - Incest - Genetics Today, the general availability of birth control methods has made inbreeding a largely separate issue from incest. Opponents of incest argue, however, that incest should still be restricted since birth control is not always 100% effective.
Some have suggested that the incest taboo is a social mechanism to reduce the chances of congenital birth-defects that can result from inbreeding. Scientists have generally rejected this as an explanation for the incest taboo for two reasons. First, in many societies partners with whom marriage is f ...

| | | | | endogamy: Encyclopedia II - Incest - Incest versus exogamy Anthropologists have found that marriage everywhere is governed (often informally) by rules of exogamy (one must marry outside of one's group) and endogamy (one must marry within one's own group). What is considered a group, for purposes of either exogamy or endogamy, varies considerably. Thus, in most stratified societies one must marry outside of one's nuclear family (exogamy) but should marry a member of one's own class, race or religion (endogamy). In this example, the exogamous group is small and the endogamous group is large. But in some societies, the exogamous group and endogamous group may be of equal size. This is the c ...

| | | | | endogamy: Encyclopedia II - Incest - Industrial societies Many American states recognize two separate degrees of incest, the more serious degree covering the closest blood relationships such as father-daughter, mother-son and brother-sister, with the less-serious charge being pressed against more distantly-related individuals who engage in sexual intercourse, usually down to and including first cousins and sometimes half cousins. Despite the strong stigma attached to incest, even the more serious charge is generally prosecuted as the least severely-punishable class of felony (in New York state; for ...

Incest - In mythology.
Examples of incest in mythology are rampant. In Greek mythology Zeus and Hera are brother and sister as well as husband and wife. They were the children of Cronus and Rhea (also married siblings) and grandchildren of Uranus and Gaia (a son who took his mother as consort). Cronus and Rhea's siblings, the other Titans, were also all married brothers and sisters.
In Norse mythology, Loki accuses Freyr and Freya of committing incest, in Lokasenna. Moreover, in the Völsunga saga, the her ...

| | | | | endogamy: Encyclopedia II - Incest - Fiction Incest is a somewhat popular topic in English erotic fiction; there are entire collections and websites devoted solely to this genre, with an entire genre of pornographic pulp fiction known as "incest novels". This is probably because, as with so many other fetishes, it is a topic of controversy. With the advent of the Internet, there is even more of this type of fiction available.
Besides this, incest is sometimes mentioned or described in usual, non-erotic fiction. Connotations can be negative, positive (very rarely), or neutral. Fo ...

| | | | | endogamy: Encyclopedia II - Wang Mang - Late reign: hopelessness In 22, Wang Mang finally saw that (as many of his officials had tried to tell him earlier) that the agrarian rebellions were posing a much greater threat to his rule than Xiongnu. He commissioned two of his key officials, Wang Kuang (王匡, not to be confused with the Lülin leader of the same name) and Lian Dan to attack agrarian rebellions, with the Chimei being their first target. Wang and Lian had some initial successes, but Wang insisted on having them keep fighting without resting, and th ...
