Historically incest has not only been acceptable but among royalty a must. We can thank christianity for making it unacceptable and giving it the yuck factor.
Social factors can and do overcome genetic factors. That doesn't mean the genetics aren't there or that they're not active in the majority of cases.

And I don't think you can blame everything on Christianity: countless non-Christian societies have taboos against incest. Christian morals aren't generally original; they're simply codified versions of the morals of the time.


All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to spout clichés
