Extended inclusive fitness theory: synergy and assortment drives the evolutionary dynamics in biology and economics. [PDF]

Springerplus, 2016
Inclusive Fitness Theory (IFT) was proposed half a century ago by W.D. Hamilton to explain the emergence and maintenance of cooperation between individuals that allows the existence of society. Contemporary evolutionary ecology identified several factors

Optimization of inclusive fitness

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2006
The first fully explicit argument is given that broadly supports a widespread belief among whole-organism biologists that natural selection tends to lead to organisms acting as if maximizing their inclusive fitness. The use of optimization programs permits a clear statement of what this belief should be understood to mean, in contradistinction to the ...

Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality [PDF]

Nature, 2011
Arising from M. A. Nowak, C. E. Tarnita & E. O. Wilson 466, 1057-1062 (2010); Nowak et al. reply. Nowak et al. argue that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in explaining the natural world, and that it has led to negligible progress in explaining the evolution of eusociality.

Invasion fitness, inclusive fitness, and reproductive numbers in heterogeneous populations [PDF]

Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 2016
How should fitness be measured to determine which phenotype or "strategy" is uninvadable when evolution occurs in subdivided populations subject to local demographic and environmental heterogeneity? Several invasion fitness measures, such as basic reproductive number, lifetime dispersal success of a local lineage, or inclusive fitness have been ...

Opposition to Inbreeding Between Close Kin Reflects Inclusive Fitness Costs [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Due to the intense selection pressure against inbreeding, humans are expected to possess psychological adaptations that regulate mate choice and avoid inbreeding. From a gene’s-eye perspective, there is little difference in the evolutionary costs between

Inclusive Fitness

, 2016
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

Do Relatives With Greater Reproductive Potential Get Help First?: A Test of the Inclusive Fitness Explanation of Kin Altruism [PDF]

Evolutionary Psychology, 2019
According to inclusive fitness theory, people are more willing to help those they are genetically related to because relatives share a kin altruism gene and are able to pass it along.

Religious celibacy brings inclusive fitness benefits. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2022
The influence of inclusive fitness interests on the evolution of human institutions remains unclear. Religious celibacy constitutes an especially puzzling institution, often deemed maladaptive. Here, we present sociodemographic data from an agropastoralist Buddhist population in western China, where parents sometimes sent a son to the monastery.

Evolutionary Influences on Assistance to Kin: Evidence from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics

Sociological Science, 2023
Amid the changes that have diversified family life, studies have shown the continuing importance of attachment to kin through established patterns such as ties among full siblings and newer patterns such as efforts by donor-conceived individuals to find ...
