Maybe she was real hot. Maybe he loved her. Maybe he realized, being a student of biology, that the chances of genetic defects in their offspring, though somewhat higher than average, were still pretty low. Maybe he lived in a society that accepted marriage between cousins. Maybe he lived in a country, which like almost every country in the world except the USA, considered cousin marriage to be OK.

Fully recuperated, he returned to Shrewsbury in July. Used to jotting down daily notes on animal breeding, he scrawled rambling thoughts about career and prospects on two scraps of paper, one with columns headed "Marry" and "Not Marry". Advantages included "constant companion and a friend in old age ... better than a dog anyhow", against points such as "less money for books" and "terrible loss of time."[55] Having decided in favour, he discussed it with his father then went to visit Emma on 29 July 1838. He did not get around to proposing, but against his father's advice he mentioned his ideas on transmutation

I don't know that he did marry his first cousin, but if he did it has nothing to do with evolution. In many countries cousins are allowed to marry. So whats your point.

If Lot and his family were so godly, why did his daughters get him drunk and have sex with him?
See how stupid that sounds? Your "question" isn't much different.
