Kin selection and altruism [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 Natural selection is predicated on the 'struggle for existence': life is short, cruel and, whether through predation, disease or starvation, often ends traumatically. It would seem that in such a dog-eat-dog world, organisms ought to act selfishly, and avoid reducing their fitness (expected survival and reproductive success) by expending time and ...

An Experimental Study of Kin Selection [PDF]
Evolution, 1980 In this paper, I report the results of an experimental study of kin selection and its influence on the tendency of larvae to cannibalize eggs in the flour beetle, Tribolium confusum. Kin selection has been defined by Maynard Smith (1964, 1976) as that evolutionary process which occurs when individuals within a randomly mating population interact with ...

Kin Selection and Its Critics [PDF]
BioScience, 2014 Hamilton's theory of kin selection is the best-known framework for understanding the evolution of social behavior but has long been a source of controversy in evolutionary biology. A recent critique of the theory by Nowak, Tarnita, and Wilson sparked a new round of debate, which shows no signs of abating.

Genes, individuals, and kin selection [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1981 The altruistic-gene theory of kin selection requires conditions so improbable that its reality is doubtful. The gene-quantity theory, including the theory of inclusive fitness, assumes that selection acts on sums of kins' genes, but no effective mechanism is apparent.

F1000Research, 2016 Kin selection and multilevel selection are two major frameworks in evolutionary biology that aim at explaining the evolution of social behaviors. However, the relationship between these two theories has been plagued by controversy for almost half a ...

Kin selection for cooperation in natural bacterial populations. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Significance Bacteria secrete many molecules outside the cell, where they provide benefits to other cells. One potential reason for producing these “public goods” is that they benefit closely related cells that share the gene for cooperation (kin ...

Infidelity and Kin Selection: Does Cheating Seem as Bad when it's “All in the Family”? [PDF]
Evolutionary Psychology, 2014 The current study explored people's perceptions of how they would feel if their partners cheated on them by having sex with their relatives, such as if a man's wife had sex with his brother.
