I'll agree with the adaptation part, but not the genetic mutation.
Cycles of abuse to children lead to most of those children growing into abusers themselves. The first few years of a child's life are the most formative, but certain two-legged predators take pleasure in making those formative years living hell. How else does an abused child survive but adapt and grow closed off and stunted? Especially when we, as a society, fail to step up properly? We call them 'sci' and send them off for treatment that works really well for them-at parole hearings.
They only closed the incest loophole in New York in 2005. I could go on and on about this, but I won't. I'll keep it short. Behavior is the truth; thoughts, feelings, genetic predispositions...that's what may go on inside a person, but that does not mean a person MUST act upon these urges. Those who do care only for the moment and their own personal pleasure.
Here's a CNN transcript. It should give you a good idea of what I mean by behavior.
