framework:social-evolution-theory-and-kin-selectionSocial Evolution Theory and Kin Selection
Existing approach that uses genetic relatedness to explain cooperation; criticized as insufficient for explaining all ETIs.
Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count
Claims (1)
claim
- Core claim: monotonic non-linearities are insufficient; evolutionary outcomes must change depending on context.
Frameworks (1)
framework
- Multi-Level Selection TheoryextendsFramework dividing covariance of character and fitness into between-collective and within-collective components; addresses limitation of kin selection.
Questions (1)
question
- Central puzzle of ETIs: how cooperation at higher level evolves when lower-level selection favors individual reproduction.
