Group Selection, A Theory Whose Time Has Come...Again
In landmark article, David Sloan Wilson and Edward O. Wilson Lead Sociobiology Out of the Theoretical Wilderness

Featured in New York Times
"Taking a Cue From Ants on Evolution of Humans" July 15, 2008
Rethinking the Theoretical Foundation of Sociobiology
David Sloan Wilson and Edward O. Wilson

"It is through multilevel or group-level selection — favoring the survival of one group of organisms over another — that evolution has in Dr. Wilson’s view brought into being the many essential genes that benefit the group at the individual’s expense. In humans, these may include genes that underlie generosity, moral constraints, even religious behavior... Last year he and David Sloan Wilson, a longtime advocate of group-level selection, laid out a theoretical basis for this view in an article in the Quarterly Review of Biology."
