Inbreeding reduces fitness in humans because many recessive alleles are loss-of-function mutations and the offspring is more likely to be homozygous for these mutations.
Sisäsiittoisuus vähentää ihmisten lisääntymiskykyä, koska monet resessiiviset alleelit ovat toimintaa estäviä mutaatioita ja jälkäämläinen on todennäköisemmin homotsygoottinen näille mutaatioille.
