The vast majority of your recent ancestors' matings were within the village or between neighboring villages. You're the result of dozens of generations of cousin-mating, and a few generations of not-cousin-mating.

that's a pretty harsh thing to find disturbing, given that you're the product of 4 billion years of incest.

Well we also constantly mass-murder our cousins (cows, fish, pigs, etc.) So not sure mating is more disturbing. Well unless you're talking about cows.

And our actual cousins (all the wars). So not sure what's more disturbing.
