Career


Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he first came into prominence in 2015 when he appeared on the Sky1 darts show One Hundred and Eighty, where with the help of James Wade, he won £16,000.


His first foray into professional darts was when he tried to win a PDC Tour Card in 2017, but while he failed to do so, he did some other firsts, such as becoming the first Brazilian to win a PDC European Tour match when he defeated Martin Schindler in the first round of the German Darts Championship.


In June 2017, he and Alexandre Sattin became the first pair to represent Brazil in the World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt, Germany. They defeated Switzerland 5–4 in a last-leg decider, before losing to the host nation pair of Max Hopp and Martin Schindler, with Portela winning their only leg in the two matches. The following year, he and Bruno Rangel would represent Brazil in the 2018 PDC World Cup of Darts, and after breezing past Denmark in round 1, they would lose to the Scotland pairing of Peter Wright and Gary Anderson.


He would qualify for the 2018 and 2019 PDC World Darts Championships by winning the South American qualifier. In 2018, he lost to the number 2 seed Peter Wright, and in 2019, he lost 3–2 to Ron Meulenkamp after being 2–0 up.

(November 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The Westermarck effect , or reverse sexual imprinting, is a hypothetical psychological effect through which people who live in close domestic proximity during the first few years of their lives become desensitized to sexual attraction. This phenomenon was first hypothesized by Finnish anthropologist Edvard Westermarck in his book The History of Human Marriage (1891) as one explanation for the incest taboo. Observations interpreted as evidence for the Westermarck effect have since been made in many places and cultures, including in the Israeli kibbutz system, and the Chinese Shim-pua marriage customs, as well as in biologically-related families. In the case of the Israeli kibbutzim (collective farms), children...
