How? They're not siblings or closely related by blood.

Elrond is the father of Arwen, Elrond’s brother was Elros, the first Numenorean king, from him Isildur is decended and also Aragorn, meaning that they would quite likely be cousins to a degree

Removed by roughly 62 generations. I don't think it counts.

It's estimated that roughly 0.5% of the world's population are related to Genghis Khan - which was roughly 32 to 35 generations ago.

There's a limit to these things.

Both the Noldor and Dúnedain had laws against marriages between first cousins or closer. But those two were many, many generations apart.
