The logic is the same about differences in relatedness.
But I'd avoid it & these 'twin' calculations entirely. Tons of hidden assumptions baked in: dominance, epistasis, G*E, shared environments being equal, interactions between additive effects and any of these, effects of assortative mating...
Dan Kois deep dive on … bar soap? Heck yeah

Not genomics, but I **LOVED** a versatile piece of software for matrix operations, life cycles, permutation and randomization testing, and basic stats... PopTools, an add-in for 32 bit Excel on Windows.
It was great for teaching and early students, user-friendly, and efficient.
You've got to put the fact you're an Olympic athlete in the first sentence. No prof is getting that far into an email.

For that, Rittenhouse became a cause celebre on the right, meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, speaking at TPUSA events, and raising big money.

The Spandrels paper should only be read with Mayr's Am Nat response, How to Carry Out the Adaptationist Programme, and of course: Lande and Arnold 1983.
L & A '83 was a direct antidote as far as selection is concerned. It can be measured, correlated traits distinguished, we can do experiments..
