This is explained without much math in:

"A geometric view of relatedness", Alan Grafen, 1985

You don't even need to know what a regression coefficient is.

Of course, if you don't know what a regression coefficient
is, you should probably spend your time thinking about some
some other area of biology besides evolution.  Some area that
doesn't involve measuring things.
