Evolution and Human Kinship
Hughes, Austin L. (Research Associate, Biology Department, Research Associate, Biology Department, University of Iowa)
Hughes here presents a theoretical approach to human social behaviour that is rooted in evolutionary biology and sociobiology. He applies the principles of kin selection theory - which states that natural selection can favour social acts that increase the fitness of both individuals and their close relatives - to anthropological data, using mathematical and statistical techniques.
