Question
Chapter 42, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
According to Hamilton, the altruistic gene is favored by the process of natural selection when rB>C. Here, r is the coefficient of relatedness, B is the recipient of the benefits, and C is the cost by the donor. The coefficient of relatedness determines how close the organism is related to the other one. This helps in determining if the sacrifice is valuable or not.
