Inbreeding is a serious problem in those places.

the scary bit is the damage that is done lasts generations, so two unrelated people who are the result of incest will still have messed up children.

where as in the case of the gorilla, great steps have been taken to make sure that it was not inbred if raised in captivity.

As memes go, this is a zinger, but one would be stupid to take a meme at face value alone. The thing about this meme though, is when you dig deeper you find that there is a lot of peer reviewed research that corresponds with it.
