LOOMING AND THE IMPACT ON THE LEVEL OF INBREEDING ON THE TIME LORD POPULATION, AN ESSAY
And how inbreeding is a big issue amongst the Time Lord population, due to their elitism and strict caste system.
#I want to make this post at some point
#making this one to remind myself to
#I'm doing genetics in biology at the moment!
#not sure if looming would be
#a) beneficial due to increasing gene pool/genetic drift through genetic modification
#b) not beneficial due to an increase in parent individuals who are to some extent inbred
#c) not beneficial because it involves basically artificial selection
#which although gets you the preferred traits
#also comes with more negative results like think pure bred dogs with all them issues
#inbreeding would totally be a huge issue
#like they've got a limited population (I don't think there can be *that* many time lords compared to like earth population
#they're the 1% so likely gonna be one of the smallest castes
#and then you have a lack of gene flow between castes because they don't interbreed
