Brother/sister unions are taboo in most cultures AFAIK. That could point to
a genetic component that discourages such unions thereby avoiding
inbreeding.

I’m no expert by any stretch but I think this is false on both counts.

Okay, but you’d agree that it is taboo in our culture? If so, to what would
you attest that value? I’ll have to do a little research, but I think the taboo
extends beyond any Judeo-Christian influence.

It’s my understanding that if enough inbreeding occurs you actually get the
same result as carefully avoiding inbreeding. I think there was evidence of
this from observations of Pygmy cultures.
|
I don’t follow you. Are you saying that carefully avoiding inbreeding is
useless given a limited genetic pool?
