The average number of liveborn offspring in first-cousin marriages was higher than in marriages between more distant relations and unrelated spouses, but the number of deaths among children of first-cousin couples was also higher.

The Egyptians called Nubia Ta-sety, meaning “Land of the Bow,” because the Nubians were famous archers.
