From his perspective, it would be the dad.

You share 25% of your DNA with a half-sister, but only 12.5% with a 1st cousin.

Why would they have less common DNA than siblings? Think of it this way: if the parents are identical twins, then they

I mean just slightly by percentage. But these cousins definitely wouldn’t have identical DNA as had been suggested in

No. They wouldn’t be identical. I think people here are saying the cousins would be as similar as siblings. I still
