Several things occur to me…
It’s The Sun
Marriage between cousins
19 children
7 children in 5 years
Quite obvious severe cognitive and physical impairment
We’d call it cerebral palsy
Well they are “surprisingly agile” according to the article, so maybe there is something in it? Not that I’ll be trying it, mind you…my back is bad enough

@Donkeyman There are lots of potatoes and other vegetables grown in the rural area where I live. A lot of the UK is supplied from this agricultural area. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with potatoes (or the people living where they are grown):
@Baz46 , Yes ,but UK taters are picked mechanically ,
whereas rural Turkey may well be different ?
It is possible that certain groups of pickers in Turkey have
been bowed by constant bending , and that their children learnt
