- Genetic Sexual Attraction reports on adults adopted when young who later traced their biological relatives describe incestuous sentiments and relationships in some of these reunions
This sourceOn adults adopted when young who traced their biological relatives after changes in British law: the reported frequency of incestuous sentiments and relationships in these reunions challenges fundamental assumptions of both Westermarck's and Freud's theories; post-adoption incest is characterised experientially by a romantic search for attachment followed by a recognition of oneself in the other; the authors propose that adult sexual interests remain constrained by both early attachments and later phenotypic matching.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
