If you're not planning on reproducing, the members of the next
generation sharing the greatest percentage of your genes are those
nephews, so it's in the best interests of your genes to do what you can
for those boys.  If their arrival into the world triggered your interest
in what happens to the next generation, that seems logical from a
genocentric point of view.  Yes?
