\n They kept it in the royal<\/em> family.<\/p>\n

Ancient Irish royals had sex with their siblings or parents to keep their elite bloodlines alive, according to a surprising new genetic discovery.<\/p>\n

Researchers found evidence of first-degree incest in the DNA remains of a member of the ruling elite at the 5,000 year-old Newgrange tomb in Donore, Ireland, according to Trinity College Dublin.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d never seen anything like it,\u201d said lead author Lara Cassidy, whose findings were published Wednesday in the journal Nature.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all inherit two copies of the genome, one from our mother and one from our father; well, this individual\u2019s copies were extremely similar, a tell-tale sign of close inbreeding. In fact, our analyses allowed us to confirm that his parents were first-degree relatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The discovery suggests the man belonged to a royal class that practiced inbreeding in order to maintain dynastic bloodlines \u2014 much like pharaohs in ancient Egypt and Inca god-kings, the researchers said.<\/p>\n

The researchers didn\u2019t expect to uncover that incest was a practice in Neolithic Ireland, Dan Bradley, a professor of population genetics at Trinity, told CNN.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had no anticipation that it would be the case at Newgrange,\u201d he said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
