Inclusive fitness: 50 years on

The cardinal problem of evolutionary biology is to explain adaptation, or the appearance of design in the living world [[1][1],[2][2]]. Darwin [[3][3]] convincingly argued that the process of adaptation is driven by natural selection: those heritable variations—i.e. genes—that are associated
