This is a glossary of how family relations within The Genesis Project are identified. Some words are very similar to how such family relations are normally identified, while others have entirely new words due to the unusual nature of a single-gender community. There is also a generic family tree below to help illustrate the relations as well. Uncles, cousins, nephews, and grandsons are not placed into the tree because doing so becomes cumbersome, but are used in the traditional ways.
son - A Sim who is a child. Damed or sired may be used to specify how the son is related.
grandson - A Sim who is a son of a child.
sibling - A Sim who who shares at least one parent.
uncle - A Sim who is a sibling of the dam or sire.
cousin - A Sim who is a child of an uncle.
nephew - A Sim who is a child of a sibling.
brother - A Sim who is a sibling.
full brother - A Sim who shares the same dam and sire.
switched brother - A Sim who shares the same dam and sire but in reversed roles of sire and dam.
half brother - A Sim who only shares one parent.
damed half brother - A Sim who shares only the same dam.
sired half brother - A Sim who shares only the same sire.
switched damed half brother - A Sim who shares only the dam, but as a sire.
switched sired half brother - A Sim who shares only the sire, but as a dam.

↑This term is used to differentiate the difference between the parent who sired the child from the parent who gave birth. While it is generally used to refer to animals rather than people, I have decided to use it in favor of mother due to the fact that there are no female parents. I realize that it isn't a commonly used word, but it is still correct to use it in this fashion.
