Foundations of Social Evolution

How could natural selection, based on the relative rates of reproduction of different individuals, favour genes that cause their bearers to expend resources to benefit their genetic competitors? The answers we can give to this question provide the true test of the maturity of our understanding of the logical process of natural selection, for it has been precisely this topic that has caused even some of the best biologists of earlier generations to stumble.
