  Incest must have been going on further back in their families because first cousins do have higher risk of genetic issues but it’s barely higher than normal if it’s a first occurrence (hence marriage between first cousins being legal in most places even to this day).

  I’m pretty sure the effects of inbreeding have always been well known.
