Varieties of group selection
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 19 (4):778-779 (1996)
Abstract
Group selection may be defined either broadly or narrowly. Narrowly defined group selection may involve either selection for altruism or group selection between alternative evolutionarily stable states. The last variety of group selection is likely to have been particularly important in human evolution.Author's Profile
