TLDR
A genetical mathematical model is described which allows for interactions between relatives on one another's fitness and a quantity is found which incorporates the maximizing property of Darwinian fitness, named “inclusive fitness”.About:

Interacting phenotypes and the evolutionary process. III. Social evolution.
TL;DR: A quantitative genetic model of multivariate trait evolution that integrates the effects of both IGEs and social selection and provides a general predictive equation for the evolution of social phenotypes that encompasses specific cases such as kin selection and reciprocity is presented.

Male chimpanzees form enduring and equitable social bonds
TL;DR: Results indicate that male chimpanzees maintain long-lasting and equitable social bonds whose formation is affected by maternal kinship and the quality of social relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Promiscuity and the evolutionary transition to complex societies
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cooperative breeding is associated with low promiscuity; that in cooperative species, helping is more common when Promiscuity is low; and that intermediate levels of promiscity favour kin discrimination, which suggests that promiscuit is a unifying feature across taxa in explaining transitions to and from cooperative societies.

The Unit of Selection in Viscous Populations and the Evolution of Altruism
Minus van Baalen,David A. Rand +1 more
TL;DR: The Pair Approximation technique is used to derive explicit invasion conditions for rare mutants in populations with limited dispersal and the consequences for the evolution of dispersal are discussed and the method may be extended to study evolution in interacting populations.

Evolutionary Theory and the Ultimate–Proximate Distinction in the Human Behavioral Sciences
TL;DR: This article focuses on three specific areas: the evolution of cooperation, transmitted culture, and epigenetics, and suggests ways in which misunderstanding may be avoided in the future.

Animal dispersion in relation to social behaviour
TL;DR: Wynne-Edwards has written this interesting and important book as a sequel to his earlier (1962) Animal Dispersion in Relation to Social Behaviour, and reviewing it has proven to be a valuable task for one who normally is only at the periphery of the group selection controversy.
