Actually, according to tradition (Jewish Talmudic traditon, that
is),  each son of Adam and Chava (Eve) had a twin sister that he
later married.  These people were not guilty of incest, because God
had not yet listed incest as a sin. (The same goes for a number of
liasons later in B'reshit (Genesis)).  After all, how were they to
know it was wrong if no-one told them?
