Preferred term

kin selection  

Definition(s)

  • Kin selection refers to the evolutionary process leading to adaptations that promote altruism among close genetic relatives. Also known as Inclusive Fitness Theory, Kin Selection Theory was first described by William Hamilton in 1964 and is perhaps the most significant addition to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection in the 20th century. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Kin Selection]
