But the genes weren't set in our makeup now- now doesn't really matter, in terms of the questions posed in this argument- re: whether the genes are positive in terms of their adaptive value.

"But we can reasonably assume that the more siblings there are to produce offspring, the more offspring there will be. Parents of only children will usually have fewer grandchildren than, say, Tim's parents."

This actually goes to the point I was making, about the 100% relation of siblings- as opposed to the only 50% genetic relation one has to a child.
