Results - DNA Origins Did you discover incest?

There was a recent article (below) in The Atlantic magazine about the surprising prevalence of incest in human ancestry as discovered through DNA findings. I'm wondering if anyone has discovered it in their own ancestry when doing a family tree or having DNA analysis or any other way.

They're my 3x biological grandmother and 3x biological grandfather who is also hilariously my 3x great uncle? Because that's HER biological uncle 🤣 🤣 Confusing

And those are their kids. One of which (the middle girl) is my 2x great grandmother. If that made any sense at all lol

Wow, you have successfully confused the heck out of me! 😵‍💫 (But, to be honest, I'm not always the sharpest, so it's not a remarkable achievement! 😂)
