For information on the town of Veldt, see Veldt Township, Minnesota\n\nThe term Veld, or Veldt, refers primarily (but not exclusively) to the wide open rural spaces of South Africa or southern Africa and in particular to certain flatter areas or districts covered in grass or low scrub. The word comes from the Afrikaans and Dutch languages and means, literally, 'field'. However, this simple translation does not convey the subtleties of the many idiomatic nuances of the term. Veld can be compared to the Australian terms 'outback' or 'bush', to 'the prairie' of North America, or to the 'pampas' of South America but the comparisons are not exact. A Yorkshireman might equate "wandering across the moors" to "walking through the veld".\n\nIn other, more rarified senses, the veld can be compared to 'the boondocks', or those places 'beyond the black stump' in Australia. There is a sense in which it refers in essence to unimproved land (and is therefore not the equivalent of the English 'paddock') but in other senses the veld can include areas used both for pastoral activities and the planting of crops. The word is less appropriate for land that is heavily forested, mountainous or urban. (On the other hand, a carefully husbanded sports field on which the game of Rugby is played in the middle of cities such as Cape Town or Johannesburg is referred to as a 'rugbyveld'). Whereas mountainous peaks and forests are not really welcome on the veld, bushes are acceptable. The area then becomes "bosveld". There are minor examples of bosveld here and there but the term is used mainly to describe Die Bosveld ("The Bushveld"), which is both a loose botanical classification and a specific geographical part of what used to be know as The Transvaal (see for example Jock of the Bushveld).\n\nThere are military connotations. The word "field" in English has a strong association with "war". Examples are the expression "the first foe in the field" and the lines of the ballad Lord Marlborough: "You generals all and champions bold, that takes delight in field, that knocks down churches and castle walls but now to death must yield". There are parallels in Afrikaans. Just as the English Army has its Field Marshalls, the Boer armies had their Veldkornets and Veldkommandos.\n[edit]\n\nHighveld and Lowveld\n\nMuch of the interior of southern Africa consists of a high plateau known as the Highveld. These higher, cooler areas (generally more than 5000 ft [1524m] above sea level) are characterized by flat or gently undulating terrain, grasslands and a modified tropical or subtropical climate. In some areas there is a distinct escarpment bordering the plateau, while in others the boundary is not obvious.\n\nSome surrounding, lower areas are known as lowveld and are generally hotter and less intensively cultivated. Before the middle of the 20th century much of the Lowveld was home to the Tse Tse Fly, which transmits Sleeping Sickness. These areas used to be known as 'fever country' and were avoided by mounted travellers, owing to the susceptibility of horses to a form of the disease.

Well, I'm kind of worried that you mentioned your job as an Assistant Professor in Veterinary College, but you don't know how to calculate an inbreeding coefficient.\n\nAnyway, second cousin is usually unrelated enough. But go back in your family trees, and I'll bet you have many more relatives in common. Should that be the case, your children have a slightly higher chance of having birth defects. \n\nSupposedly, if two unrelated people in a population have an X percent chance of having a defective child, then first cousins have a 8/5X (1.6X) chance of having a defective child. Such defects occur in the low single digits anyway.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome: A type of short stature with striking shortening of the ends of the extremities (arms and legs), polydactyly (extra digits), fusion of bones in the wrist, dystrophy (abnormal growth) of the fingernails, change in the upper lip variously called 'partial hare-lip,' 'lip-tie,' etc., and cardiac (heart) malformations. The teeth may already be erupted at birth (natal teeth) and fall out prematurely. \n\nThe Ellis-van Creveld (EvC) syndrome was first described by Drs. Richard W. B. Ellis of Edinburgh and Simon van Creveld of Amsterdam. Each had a patient with this syndrome, as they had discovered when they met in the same train compartment on the way to a pediatrics conference in England in the late 1930s.

Incest is defined as "Sexual relations between persons who are so closely related that their marriage is illegal or forbidden by custom" Personally i would believe it would be wrong depending only upon certain circumstances. Also it does depend on where you are some jurisdictions consider only those related by birth, others also those related by adoption or marriage.

Family is made up of people who love you because you are related, not because of what they can get out of you, not because they agree with you on everything or anything, but just because.  That provides a backbone for socialization that is not easily replicated.
