plsss help meh
It's is certainly not causal. Growing older does not cause cousins to proliferate.
In fact, I don't think there's even a correlation, since cousins are produced by the parents' siblings. There may be more as time goes by, but I doubt there's any real correlation there. Some families have lots of children, and some do not.
