I highly doubt the veracity of your statement. Inbreeding is not the only method utilized by nature to catalyze mutation. Most mutation is the result of a random occurrence during mrna replication. To put it in colloquialismal form, shit happens. If you can provide a veritable source, I will promptly offer my sincerest apology. (I will accept a wikipedia article. I'm not a college professor;)

If the number of chromosomes was the sole determinant of specie and genus, then it would be relatively simple to mutate any animal into a totally different creature, children with down syndrome, which is the result of either a missing or superfluous chromosome, would look like gorilla hybrids, and horses would be the superior species, having 72 chromosome pairs. It's a loose theory, based on a simplistic view of genetics. I don't claim to be an expert on this subject, being only an economics major, but my girlfriend, a biology major, supports my view. The human genome is way too complicated and interdependent within itself to be explained with numbers alone.
