Kin selection theory predicts that individuals should evolve to help their relatives. However, Crozier’s paradox suggests that using genetic markers (tags) to recognize relatives will be evolutionarily unstable. The problem is that more common tags are more likely to be recognized and helped. This causes common tags to increase in frequency, eliminating the genetic variability needed for genetic kin recognition. It has been hypothesized that the genetic variability could be maintained if recognition alleles have an additional role in parasite resistance. We show that the host–parasite coevolution hypothesis does not work as expected because it often causes tags to fluctuate to high frequencies. However, host–parasite coevolution can maintain tag diversity at another (neutral) locus by genetic hitchhiking, resolving Crozier’s paradox. Crozier’s paradox suggests that genetic kin recognition will not be evolutionarily stable. The problem is that more common tags (markers) are more likely to be recognized and helped. This causes common tags to increase in frequency, eliminating the genetic variability that is required for genetic kin recognition. Two potential solutions to this problem have been suggested: host–parasite coevolution and multiple social encounters. We show that the host–parasite coevolution hypothesis does not work as commonly assumed. Host–parasite coevolution only stabilizes kin recognition at a parasite resistance locus if parasites adapt rapidly to hosts and cause intermediate or high levels of damage (virulence). Additionally, when kin recognition is stabilized at a parasite resistance locus, this can have an additional cost of making hosts more susceptible to parasites. However, we show that if the genetic architecture is allowed to evolve, meaning natural selection can choose the recognition locus, genetic kin recognition is more likely to be stable. The reason for this is that host–parasite coevolution can maintain tag diversity at another (neutral) locus by genetic hitchhiking, allowing that other locus to be used for genetic kin recognition. These results suggest a way that host–parasite coevolution can resolve Crozier’s paradox, without making hosts more susceptible to parasites. However, the opportunity for multiple social encounters may provide a more robust resolution of Crozier’s paradox.
