Some researchers at University of California at Santa Barbara found what they believe to be innate brain guards against incest with a sibling, based on whether or not you saw that sibling cared for by your mother, basically discounting Freud's whole Oedipal complex theories. It's in this week's issue of Nature.
I wish there was more to it than just a series of surveys, though. I'd be curious to see if there is any brain basis for the development of these categories of relationships. Interesting stuff nonetheless.
