FST Debunks Interracial Kinship Myth

Using the Wright–Harpending kinship framework, the article derives coefficients of relatedness that depend on population differentiation (FST). It shows a parent–child pair remains far more related than a random co‑ethnic under realistic human FST values; only implausibly large between‑group divergence would flip this. Negative kinship values can occur in the model, but not at observed European–African distances. — It offers a rigorous, portable way to test sensational genetics claims in public debates and discourages misuse of 'genetic distance' to make inflammatory assertions.
