Or the first cousins thing. (1000 times removed)

It's only like 50 times removed since there were about 50 generations between Elros and Aragorn. But even that really isn't much closer genetically than two random strangers on earth. 50 generations is a long time to stir up the genetic mix.

I wonder if the Dunedain Jaw existed. Or maybe Numenorean haemophilia?

I imagine that a ranger with haemophilia wouldn't last very long

Statistically it's almost guaranteed to be less related than two random strangers.

For anyone wondering, Arwen sometimes lived in Lothlórien. They didn't meet until Aragorn was 20-something, so it wasn't quite that bad.
