Crow and Kimura rescue the abstract concept of F-statistics from pure math and make it biological. "F" measures the probability that two alleles are identical by descent. It is the currency of relatedness. When you read their derivation, you realize that every mating is, to some tiny degree, incestuous—and that this dictates the entire genetic load of a species.
