The answer is John Dollard. He was an American psychologist and social scientist best recognized for his studies on race relations in America and the frustration-aggression hypothesis he proposed with Neal E. Miller and others. Dollard's own research was focused on the sociological issues of race relations and social class, as well as discovering biographical analyses, suggesting what should be included in biographical materials to permit sound psychological studies, researching numerous topics related to sociology and culture, and psychoanalysis. In 1939, psychologist John Dollard suggested that prejudice is the result of frustration. People who are incapable to strike out at the actual source of their frustration look for someone to blame.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
