Go back far enough and we all share a common ancestor. Be you a Creationist, or an evolutionist, that much is certain. Therefore, my wife may well be my 210th cousin, 798 times removed. Nah...I don't see it as degrees of the same thing, at all.
For the sake of argument, though, let's define "relative" as 1st cousin, and closer. Now...does nature build in an Ick Factor, to keep us from nailing our own sisters, mothers, aunt's, and 1st cousins? Hell, let's even remove 1st cousins from the equation (just in case there are West Virginians participating. J/K) Is there a programed Ick Factor there? Or is it another learned response?
