Question

The insect taboo is often pointed to as an example of a cultural universal. While no society permits generalized incest for its members, anthropologists have found that some groups _______ activities that others would label as incest.

Answer 1

The correct answer is permit

In almost all cultures it is forbidden to have relationships within an intimate kinship group. Incest is not accepted in most cultures. Cases are not legitimized and, when they occur, individuals are penalized.

But in some cultures incest is allowed and there is no punishment or way to outlaw the practice.
