“What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled those people out that were products of rape and incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?”

No, but that's irrelevant. If someone had flicked a switch 1000 years ago to ensure that every future rape and incest didn't result in a baby, there's no reason to believe the world wouldn't be as overpopulated as it is now (perhaps with slightly better people).
