This paper reviews and addresses a variety of issues relating to inclusive fitness. The main question is: are there limits to the generality of inclusive fitness, and if so, what are the perimeters of the domain within which inclusive fitness works? This question is addressed using two well known tools from evolutionary theory: the replicator dynamics,

Inclusive Fitness, Altruism and Family Adaptation
An integrative model of family functioning is put forward using a sociobiological framework. Three key socio-biological concepts that have a relevance to family interaction are inclusive fitness, altruism, and a struggle for status. The term ‘inclusive fitness’ encompasses the parents’ own fitness and that of their kith and kin.

Inclusive fitness and Hamilton’s rule in a stochastic environment
Theoretical Population Biology, 2021The evolution of cooperation in Prisoner's Dilemmas with additive random cost and benefit for cooperation cannot be accounted for by Hamilton's rule based on mean effects transferred from recipients to donors weighted by coefficients of relatedness, which defines inclusive fitness in a constant environment.

Inclusive fitness in evolution
Nature, 2011Arising from M. A. Nowak, C. E. Tarnita & E. O. Wilson , 1057–1062 (2010)10.1038/nature09205 ; Nowak et al. reply For over fifty years, the evolution of social behaviour has been guided by the concept of inclusive fitness as a measure of ...

Relatedness and inclusive fitness with inbreeding
Theoretical Population Biology, 1992Relatedness arising in kin selection theory is measured by a variable taking as values two pedigree indices in populations with inbreeding when selection is weak. This variable reduces to a single pedigree index when inbreeding is caused by partial selfing or partial sib-mating.

How to measure inclusive fitness
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1990Although inclusive fitness (Hamilton 1964) is regarded as the basic currency of natural selection, difficulty in applying inclusive fitness theory to field studies persists, a quarter-century after its introduction (Grafen 1982, 1984; Brown 1987). For instance, strict application of the original (and currently accepted) definition of inclusive fitness ...

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1979
Abstract Hamilton implicitly defined the inclusive fitness of an individual as the number of genomes, identical by descent to its own, but not in its own body, which owe their existence to expression of genes in said individual. Hamilton regarded inclusive fitness as the true metric of evolutionary success and the thin- maximized by selection ...

A mathematical description of the inclusive fitness theory
Theoretical Population Biology, 2013Recent developments in the inclusive fitness theory have revealed that the direction of evolution can be analytically predicted in a wider class of models than previously thought, such as those models dealing with network structure. This paper aims to provide a mathematical description of the inclusive fitness theory. Specifically, we provide a general

For nearly 50 years, Inclusive Fitness Theory has provided researchers an avenue to understand altruistic interactions among individuals in a colony. It has recently come under fire by prominent academics suggesting it is unsatisfactory in describing altruism.

Inclusive Fitness and the Maximizing-Agent Analogy
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2017ABSTRACTIn social evolution theory, biological individuals are often represented on the model of rational agents, that is, as if they were ‘seeking’ to maximize their own (expected) reproductive su...
