“Family, Kinship and the Origin of the Kinship Taboo”
Abstract
The near universality of the incest taboo against inbreeding between three sets of
dyads in nuclear kinship units is an ideal topic for co-evolutionary analysis
that
is, the interaction effects between biological and sociocultural processes during
the course of hominid and human evolution. Drawing from primatology,
neurology, the sociology of emotions, evolutionary biology, anthropology, clinical
psychology, and sociology, this paper not only seeks to shed new light on the
origins of the taboo itself, but also on variations in (1) the power of the taboo to
regulate mother-son, brother-sister, and father-daughter sexual relations, (2) the
differences in the rates of incest among these incestuous dyads, and (3) the
resulting differences in the psychopathologies that emerge when the taboo is
violated.
