亲缘选择理论，也被称为包容性适应度理论，一直是争论和误解的主题。尽管如此，个体之间的关联可以推动利他主义进化的想法已经成为进化生物学的一个中心范式。或者说已经是这样了？在最近的两篇文章中，E.O.威尔逊认为，亲缘选择不应该再被认为是昆虫社会中利他主义进化的主要解释。在这里，我们讨论这些文章对亲属选择的看法，以及它与该理论的关系。我们的结论是，亲缘选择仍然是真社会昆虫中利他主义进化的关键解释。
Kin selection theory, also known as inclusive fitness theory, has been the subject of much debate and misunderstanding. Nevertheless, the idea that relatedness among individuals can drive the evolution of altruism has emerged as a central paradigm in evolutionary biology. Or has it? In two recent articles, E.O. Wilson argues that kin selection should no longer be considered the main explanation for the evolution of altruism in insect societies. Here, we discuss what these articles say about kin selection and how it relates to the theory. We conclude that kin selection remains the key explanation for the evolution of altruism in eusocial insects.
