The formal darwinism project in outline
TL;DR: The formal darwinism project aims to provide a mathematical framework within which important fundamental ideas in large parts of biology can be articulated, including Darwin's central argument in The Origin, modern extensions of evolutionary theory including ESS theory and inclusive fitness, and Dawkins' synthesis of them into a single structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
From inclusive fitness to fixation probability in homogeneous structured populations.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, under the assumption that genetic effects are small and additive, the resulting formulation of inclusive fitness is equivalent to other significant measures of selection in finite populations, including the change in average allele frequency and fixation probability.

The Rate of Change of a Character Correlated with Fitness
James F. Crow,Thomas Nagylaki +1 more
TL;DR: An extended form of Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection gives the rate of change of the mean value of a measured character, which reduces to Kimura's generalization of Fisher’s Fundamental The theorem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooperation and the evolution of intelligence
TL;DR: An artificial neural network model is used to show that selection for efficient decision-making in cooperative dilemmas can give rise to selection pressures for greater cognitive abilities, and that intelligent strategies can themselves select for greater intelligence, leading to a Machiavellian arms race.

On the evolution of parthenogenesis: a genetic representation of the "cost of meiosis".
TL;DR: The arguments of Williams and Maynard Smith differed in emphasis with respect to what Williams (1980) has termed the "ecological" and "evolutionary" problems of sexuality.
