Reintroducing “reintroducing group selection to the human behavioral sciences”to BBS readers
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (2):304-305 (1998)
| Abstract | Wilson and Sober's (1994t) revival of group selection theory may have failed with some readers because its simple arithmetic foundation was obscured under the complexities of its presentation. When that uncontrovertible principle is uncovered, it broadens dramatically the fundamental motives that social scientists may impute to human nature and still be consistent with Darwinian evolutionary theory. | |||||||||
