How far back would you have to go before sleeping with your ancestor wasn't incest?

My friend says that if it's acceptable to marry your first cousin, as it is in many cultures, then it should also be acceptable to marry your great grandfather, as you will share a similar amount of genetic material. I'm doubtful about this. How far back would you have to go before sleeping with your ancestor wasn't incest?
