I suppose because it was slowly eliminated over the hundreds of thousands of years in between, but you're right. I cannot explain y our gene pool grew to be more diverse over millennia. It is a bit coincidental though that our brains are far more advanced now than they were when inbreeding...

That is a very interesting point. I never thought of it that way. For arguments sake though, yes. Our brains wouldn't be nearly as complex. I cant remember the exact regions of the brain, but they werent nearly as developed a long ass time ago, or if you go back far enough, didn't exist...

:D Seriously though, just compare the brain of humans 100,000+ years ago, when they were all banging their brother/sister, to our brains today.

From an evolutionary perspective, if all humans inbred, we would not have evolved into what we are today. Our survival depends on a diverse gene pool. If we all inbred, our species would not have lasted this long, and if it did, we wouldn't be nearly as advanced. With that in mind, inbreeding...
