Why kin and group selection models may not be enough to explain human other-regarding behaviour.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Oct 2006

van Veelen Matthijs

Abstract excerpt

Models of kin or group selection usually feature only one possible fitness transfer. The phenotypes are either to make this transfer or not to make it and for any given fitness transfer, Hamilton's rule predicts which of the two phenotypes will spread. In this article we allow for the possibility that different individuals or different generations face similar, but not necessarily identical possibilities for...
