I think this is kinda a psychological thing. Like an Oedipus complex, I know I personally prefer women with the same attributes as my mother, petite and light skinned, it may have something to do with the relationships we develop as children. The comfortable nature of family and believing that those characteristics on a sub conscious level are what we find attractive. Until we experience large quantities of women we won't know an actual preference I believe and stick to what is normal and "safe"
For many, possibly most people, this is probably accurate. Indeed in some cultures it's the norm for cousins to marry. But there's always black-sheep "heterophiles" in any group, for whom it seems the opposite.
