It has likely been a part of human life, to some degree, ever since there were any divisions in the human species at all. Today with increased globalisation and its effect on communication and travel, intermarriage is likely accelerating. It is still very controversial or even forbidden in certain places of the world, while in some places is totally acceptable, or even encouraged for various reasons.
