Many organisms, from sea squirts to primates, can identify their relatives. Understanding how and why they do so has prompted new thinking about the evolution of social behavior.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1988
Behavioural ecologists have long assumed that animals discriminate between their kin and non-kin, but paid little attention to how animals recognize their relatives. Although the first papers on kin recognition mechanisms appeared barely 10 years ago, studies now appear frequently in journals of animal behaviour.

Visual kin recognition in chimpanzees
Nature, 1999The ability to distinguish between members of one's own species has greatly assisted the evolution of sociality in mammals, leading to individualized relationships and cooperative networks. Because kin selection is important for the evolution of complex societies, other advantages must derive from the ability to distinguish kin from non-kin1.

Kin recognition in social bees
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1987Kin recognition in social insects has become a central issue in sociobiology because studies of the recognition abilities of social insects provide a test of kin selection theory. W.D. Hamilton(1) formalized kin selection theory by showing how individuals can gain fitness by increasing the reproductive output of relatives (kin). The social interactions

THE ECOLOGY OF KIN RECOGNITION
Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1988W. D. Hamilton's publication of genetical kinship theory (92, 93) a quarter century ago launched the modern study of social evolution. Kinship theory extends the scope of fitness to include the effects of individuals' actions on their genetic relatives.

Behavior Genetics, 1988
I develop the argument that for a true kin recognition system to evolve, selection must act on both parties: not only must recognition be favored in the donor of care, but reliable identification must be favored in the potential recipient of the care. This perspective suggests two complementary hypotheses, which I discuss and evaluate with data drawn ...

Developmental aspects of kin recognition
Genetica, 1998The ability to recognise kin requires the individual to possess a variety of abilities. Individuals must produce a cue which indicates relatedness, they must process this cue to determine relatedness and then must act on this cue. Research has concentrated on the first and final stage of this process, i.e., the cues of kinship and kin correlated ...

Olfaction and human kin recognition
Genetica, 1998Humans, like other mammals, are capable of discriminating between kin and non-kin by olfactory cues alone. Shortly after birth, breastfed infants become familiar with, and respond preferentially to, their mother's unique odor signature. Mothers likewise recognize the characteristic scent of their newborn infant.

Science, 2020
Evolutionary Biology Kin selection, the selection of behaviors that benefit kin, is key to social and cooperative behavior. Primates can recognize kin through heritable facial traits. The question is whether this behavior is incidental from shared genes or if it is instead subject to selection. Charpentier et al.

The prenatal foundations of kin recognition
Trends in Ecology & EvolutionKin recognition, the ability to identify genetic relatives, relies on familiarisation for the creation of recognition templates. During development, parent and embryo(s) are exposed to chemical, auditory, and tactile cues that can communicate reliable genetic information.
