Inbreeding in humans was not and is not always discouraged. Inbreeding ( the mating of relatives) is considered a problem in humans ... Because of recessive genes which carry birth defects. Look at European royalty as an example. Too close inbreeding results in physical deformities and often in mental retardation.
