Correlation coefficients in population genetics are often derived from explicit generative models (Hardy-Weinberg, diffusion equations) that already encode genealogical mechanisms.

Hardy-Weinberg(in population genetics)
A foundational principle in genetics that describes how gene frequencies stay the same in a population across generations if nothing disturbs them (named after mathematicians G.H. Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg).
Population genetics(as used in biology and philosophy of science)
The scientific study of how gene versions (alleles) spread through groups of organisms and change over time.
