- W2034143604 abstract "Eusocial insects, including ants and many wasp and bee species, form hierarchical communities comprising reproductive queens and sterile workers. This means that some individuals sacrifice their own reproductive potential in order to raise the offspring of others, a fact that Darwin recognized as a challenge to evolutionary theory. The most widely accepted explanations for the phenomenon rely on kin selection theory based on inclusive fitness — individual fitness derived by increasing the survival of a relatives' offspring. In an Analysis feature, Martin Nowak, Corina Tarnita and Edward O. Wilson point out that this approach has its limitations. They demonstrate mathematically that inclusive fitness is a viable alternative to the direct fitness of standard natural selection only for a well-defined subset of situations — it is not generally applicable. A simpler explanation is provided by standard natural selection theory in the context of precise models of population structure. Eusociality, in which some individuals reduce their own lifetime reproductive potential to raise the offspring of others, underlies the most advanced forms of social organization and the ecologically dominant role of social insects and humans. For the past four decades kin selection theory, based on the concept of inclusive fitness, has been the major theoretical attempt to explain the evolution of eusociality. Here we show the limitations of this approach. We argue that standard natural selection theory in the context of precise models of population structure represents a simpler and superior approach, allows the evaluation of multiple competing hypotheses, and provides an exact framework for interpreting empirical observations." @default.
