Fait intéressant, selon l'ouvrage de Frances et Joseph Gies, Marriage and the Family in the Middle Ages, « le tabou rattaché à l'inceste a résisté jusqu'à maintenant aux tentatives des psychologues, des anthropologues et des sociologues d'élaborer une explication réellement convaincante et largement acceptée » de son existence.
Interestingly, according to Frances and Joseph Gies' book Marriage and the Family in the Middle Ages, " the incest taboo has so far resisted attempts by psychologists, anthropologists and sociologists to develop a really convincing and generally accepted explanation" for its existence.
