RESUMO
We present a gene–culture coevolutionary model for brother–sister mating in the human. It is shown that cultural—as opposed to innate—determination of mate preference may evolve, provided the inbreeding depression is sufficiently high. At this coevolutionary equilibrium, sib mating is avoided because of cultural pressures.
