I would just like to add the correction that adult consensual incest (ACI)  is not illegal for  more than 53%  of the  world's population  who   live in the approximately 35 countries that do not penalize ACI.

Many states in the USA  criminalize even cousin incest and marrige, but  cousin ACI and marrige is legal in the United Kingom, moeny other countries including the Islamic  countries/ The following countries  do not treat  adults engaging  in  consensual incest with other adults as criminals. As you can see not all the countries on the list are totally  backward and uncivilised. Things can  become a taboo just because the government of the day makes a new law with extremely harsh punishments; such as Singapores anti-lttering  fines :  $2,000 for a first conviction;  $4,000 for 2nd ,  $10,000 for 3rd etc.Even though Abraham  and Sarah, the Hebrew Patriarch and Matriarch were sister and  brother, they married, ancient  Israel punished some incest by poring molten lead down the throats of those convicted. Thank Jehovah that modern Israel  no longer has laws punishing ACI. 40,117,096 Argentina. 3,266,300 Armenia, 9,111,100 Azerbaijan, 10,839,905 Belgium, 200,400,000 Brazil 1.357,000,000 People Republic of China, 1,340,194 Estonia, 65,821,885 France 4,469,200 Georgia, 1.252,000,000 India
