Those laws and customs predates knowledge of genetics significantly.
Humans may not have consciously known that incest was bad, but evolution made us think so before we were even humans. ~~All~~ Some animals avoid incest, it's not just humans. We only created those laws and customs because evolution already made us believe that incest is bad. It's pre-programmed in us, so to speak.
That isn't even remotely true.
Fair - but humans are definitely not the only animals that do.
