摘要
The group selection controversy has been dominated by 2 major themes: 1) involving the selection of groups in a metapopulation as a process analogous to the selection of individuals within single groups; and 2) involving altruistic behaviors that benefit others at the expense of the individual actor. This essay points out some inconsistencies between the 2 themes. It is reasonable to expect strong group selection to operate in random associations, without any genetic relatedness among group members. -from Author
