      when the right argument is, it's banned because it's so disgusting that it offends our sensibilities as a society

      anyway to segue to the "why tho" it's obvious avoiding cannibalism and incest carry a fitness benefit

      it's probably unlikely all these societies discovered inbreeding depression or prion disease and took steps to reduce them proactively

      especially since these taboos usually get imposed *very* early. I don't know of any cannibalistic societies that aren't pre-literate, and...

      ...very close (brother/sister parent/child) incest is only routine afaik as part of zany "gotta preserve the god-blood" schemes in royalty a la egypt, persia

      more likely it's just that the societies that don't develop these norms pay a heavy (in the case of incest crippling, insurmountable) fitness cost and are wiped out

      purity norms flow from a natural disgust response and I see no reason why "don't eat rotten meat or sleep in feces" would differ in mechanism from "don't fuck your brother" tbh

      purity norms can be dumb! like no menstruation in the temple sort of stuff. but these are not nearly as universal and more easily shrugged off by moderns

      combined with the fitness thing there's also the fact that because the disgust response is so strongly felt it becomes a strong intolerance preference

      like it is very much a "we're not even dealing with humans over here, they're animals, demons" etc and are treated accordingly

          anyway that's what I think, probably some mix of it's healthy to start with and becomes a preference you're willing to spread by the sword

          the best preference is one that you're willing to cut a bitch to perpetuate
