I believe all people have a common moral code. Anthropologists demonstrated all peoples have a incest taboo.

Anybody know of any others?

Not quite true
some countries allow sibling marriages with royal approval.

egyptian pharaohs preferred to marry their sisters. As did some roman emperors.
It is probable that at least some of their subjects did the same.

Abraham married his paternal half sister, so what, Abraham still had an incest taboo. It was just more lenient.

That does not sound much like it. Still we know very little about those early times, even the belief in multiple Gods was to last into Moses time.
