For individuals in monogamous families of exactly two offspring, let be mean pairwise kinship coefficient, mean inbreeding and mean kinship of mates. A random distinct offspring pair are siblings with probability . Accounting separately for within-family and cross-family pairs gives the displayed recurrence, while . Random mating makes . Sibling avoidance changes the mating-pair mean; it does not create unrelated founders or stop eventual drift to ancestral identity in a closed finite population.
