And the moral is connected to the physical and the physical is connected to the whimsical
dem bones dem bones dem, dry bones.

In Islamic countries of old people ate with their left hand. The reason why they ate with their left hand is that they wiped their arse with their right and they didn't want to get poisoned and die. Since this is entirely a straw man argument I have got absolutely no proof of this but I think it's probably a reasonable logical leap to assume that should one of these people see me munching away on a sandwich held in my right hand they'd "bleeurgh" and call me names.

There's an observable phenomenon pointed out above that generally speaking, children that grow up together imprint on each other and do not then develop sexual attraction for each other. This happens regardless of whether they're actually related or not. The reason for this is to stop family groups fucking each other into extinction. Therefore incest is biologically discouraged.

As Enzyme says, this is not a moral reason. We know, or we think we know, that it's morally wrong. But that's because morality is a human construct and not a biological imperative. What has happened is that a moral construct has grown up around an observable biological imperative. Incest is wrong, we just don't consciously know why.

For clarification
we see it as wrong because it's unusual. It's unusual because biology discourages it.
