I was mainly going for the incest side of the story. In order to self propagate incest would have to occur which I assume was condoned by god considering the population was so low. Not until tribes could form and separate would an acceptable/better way of transmitting genetic material be formed. |
Like Wiibox3 said, pretty much that. Incest was only forbidden as of the mosaic law as far as I know.
I'd say the only laws of God that we're aware of prior to the mosaic law are
Gen 2:24: marriage was one man one woman from the start.
Original Sin:
Do not lie (the serpent lied when he temped Adam and Eve)
Do not covet (Adam and Eve coveted the fruit)
Submit to God's infinite provision and glory (the serpent tempted them by saying they could be like God)
Pride is evil (they wanted to be like God)
Do not murder (Cain murdered his brother and was punished)
Jealousy is evil (Cain was jealous of his brother)
And probably the more obscure ones like bearing children for your deceased brother with his widowed wife (no longer applicable as far as I can tell)
Apart from that, incest wasn't a sin before the mosaic law. However, it was sister to brother and monogamous due to Gen 2:24.
