Expect to learn why evolution has designed you to not want to have sex with your sister, how animals actually detect who their relatives are, what the high level explanation is for why humans don’t want to have sex with their kin, the moral argument if it is okay for two adult siblings had consensual sex, how big the actual genetic risk is for first cousins, what crying and tears actually communicate from an evolutionary perspective and much more…
