Relating to or practicing endogamy, the practice of marrying or reproducing within a specific social group or community.
From Greek 'endo-' (within) and 'gam-' (marriage), plus the adjective suffix '-ic.' This term describes breeding or marriage patterns.
Endogamic practices in isolated populations, while they kept families culturally connected, historically increased genetic diseases because recessive traits appeared more often in offspring!
