OUTBREEDING

Etymology

Noun

outbreeding (countable and uncountable, plural outbreedings)

The breeding of unrelated (or only distantly related) individuals.

The mating of people from different groups (especially as a result of social proscription).

Outbreeding hinders earnest studies of archaeogenetics, making it thorny to know precisely about ancient populations, migrations and linguistic groups.

Coffee Trivia

Coffee has initially been a food – chewed, not sipped. Early African tribes consume coffee by grinding the berries together, adding some animal fat, and rolling the treats into tiny edible energy balls.
