Summary Introduction

To review:

The selective pressure which influence an individual to be a helper instead of allowing it to involve in reproduction.

Introduction:

Social interactions play an important role in increasing the fitness of an individual and it can be either direct or indirect fitness. Direct fitness involves reproduction of an individual to have their own offspring whereas, indirect fitness involves nonreproductive or helping behavior of an individual. Inclusive fitness includes direct and indirect fitness where a helper increases the reproductive success of parents or relatives, which also helps to increase possibility of shared alleles to pass into next generations.
