Inbreeding does indeed tend to cause serious trouble over generations, regardless of the genetic pool of the species (Ludens?), though it can get sharper in effect with a shrinking group. the Reason is because it tends to concentrate defective, or deleterious, mutations over a period of time, to the point of being incompatible with a healthy life. a simple example: suppose there are a pair, husband and wife, both having a gene, Xx. X is doinent, x is recessive. the recessive one gives people hell (say, born with bad hearts). the punett square will make the following children: XX, Xx, Xx, and xx. now, lets mate two at random, and see how the xx (bad heart) concentration changes. believe me, it goes up very quickly. here is a real life example. notice his jaw:
