The neo-Darwinian synthesis that resulted from the integration of Mendelian genetics into evolutionary theory has dominated evolutionary biology for the last 30 to 40 years, due largely to its agreement with a huge body of experimental and observational data.

My analysis shows that many aspects of parasite and protocell evolution must be studied with the theoretical tools of social evolution, and discusses extensions that are required for a general theory of symbiosis.

In a system of N populations of n reproductive individuals apiece, in which each population has constant variance v(2) and lasts L generations, group selection on a quantitative character has a reasonable chance of overriding selection within populations if (and only if) the populations never exchange migrants.
