abstract="Arising from M. A. Nowak, C. E. Tarnita & E. O. Wilson 466, 1057-1062 (2010); Nowak et al. reply. Arguably the defining characteristic of the scientific process is its capacity for self-criticism and correction. Nowak et al. challenge proposed connections between relatedness and the evolution of eusociality, suggest instead that defensible nests and &quot;spring-loaded&quot; traits are key, and present alternative modelling approaches. They then dismiss the utility of Hamilton's insight that relatedness has a profound evolutionary effect, formalized in his widely accepted inclusive fitness theory as Hamilton's rule (&quot;Rise and fall of inclusive fitness theory&quot;). However, we believe that Nowak et al. fail to make their case for logical, theoretical and empirical reasons.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
