Marrying siblings and other close relatives was common in the early biblical days. Often under the direct intervention of God. The gene pool was evidently purer then or something. Abraham married his half sister Sarai. The Egyptian Pharaohs always married their siblings to preserve the dynasties.
By Moses' day the conditions had changed so that incest laws were established. There were no incest laws before Moses. Leviticus 18 has the incest laws.

What law was Adam under? There was no law forbidding incest as there was no law but the commandment not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The law pertaining to incest came from God through Moses. The Bible is clear we are all descendants of Adam and Eve there are no other creation existing in another town.

Yes. As far as we can tell, it must be that they committed incest if we believe everyone came from Adam and Eve. How about that? So one reaction would be to reject the Bible as so much bunk. Another would be to believe that the creation story in Genesis is just a myth or some other kind of story like a parable. Another is to believe that the story is true and incest was really what had to happen to propagate creation. Another interpretation I've heard is that the Creations story is just about how God created his particular people and that other people existed that sprang from other sources. I believe that if God tells me his word is true than the creation story is the truth.

You may view it that way today. Remember that many more years would pass before the law was given and that the first people carried genetic perfection.
You may also wish to explore the idea that after ejection from the garden conditions were a bit different. Creation took place prior to that ejection.
There is room for speculation and creative thought. We simply are not filled in on all the specifics of every act.

If all humans sprang from Adam and Eve, there must've been a lot of incest going on in the beginning. How else would they reproduce?

Incest was allowed back then in order to populate the Earth. Now it is not allowed to have sex with your siblings. Cousins is ok in certain parts of the world and in certain religions.

Read Chapter 4 of Genesis and you will see that Adam and Eve's children married others. It seems that very few of the answerers here have.

That's the way to populate the world, god's own plan of population control via fornicating in a most incestuous way.
That also would have been the plan after noah's ark came to rest.
Just think of it. No wonder there is so much feeblemindedness going around, all that inbreeding. It's as bad as royalty.
