There is no fitness but fitness, and the lineage is its bearer
Erol Akçay,Jeremy Van Cleve +1 more
TL;DR: This paper argues that the lineage perspective emphasizes that evolutionary success is determined by the effect of selection on all biological and environmental contexts that a lineage may experience and provides the most illuminating and accurate picture and avoids pitfalls in interpretation and empirical applications of inclusive fitness theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eight criticisms not to make about group selection
Omar Tonsi Eldakar,David Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: Eight criticisms that are frequently invoked against group selection can be permanently laid to rest based upon current knowledge, which will enable authors to openly use the term group selection without being handicapped during the review process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural selection. I. Variable environments and uncertain returns on investment.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a concise introduction to the two key aspects of the theory of relative success and the hierarchical structure of variability in populations, and place particular problems in their proper relation to the general theory.
Cooperation and Conflict in the Evolution of Individuality. III. Transitions in the Unit of Fitness
Richard E. Michod,Denis Roze +1 more
TL;DR: This work provides an explicit genetic framework for understanding the transition from single cells to a multicellular organism in terms of the increase of cooperation among cells withingroups and the regulation of conflict within the cell group—the emerging organism.

Resolving Conflicts During the Evolutionary Transition to Multicellular Life
Paul B. Rainey,Silvia De Monte +1 more
TL;DR: This work considers the range of ways by which cooperation and conflict manifest at different levels of biological organization and gives prominence to the emerging idea that conflict is a central driver in the evolution of biological complexity and that solutions to conflict, notably those that arise from selection operating at different temporal scales, have fueled the emergence of individuality.
