The evolution of altruism
https://doi.org/10.18699/VJ17.267
Abstract
Ever since Darwin published On The Origin of Species in 1859, the evolution of altruism has been a perennial paradox for evolutionary biologists. In this review, I will discuss three evolutionary paths to altruism – genetic relatedness, reciprocity, and group selection – and examine very recent work that uses social network modeling to help us better understand the evolution of altruism.
