Which of these famous men did not marry his cousin?
Edgar Allan Poe
Albert Einstein
Charles Darwin
Thomas Edison
In many cultures around the world, it is frowned upon to marry your cousin (and in some countries even illegal), but that hasn’t stopped people throughout history from doing it. Albert Einstein held a lot of knowledge, but no knowledge of the dangers of procreating with a relative. Einstein married his first cousin on his mother’s side and second cousin on his father’s side. Charles Darwin studied evolution extensively in animals but apparently not in humans. Darwin married his first cousin with whom he had 10 children. Edgar Allan Poe married his first cousin, Virginia Clemm, when she was just 13 years old.
Correct Answer: Thomas Edison
