This allows behaviors that are highly-altruistic or highly-selfless to evolve. [[Group selection]] -> [[social control]] -> self-sacrificial altruism This is in contrast to [[kin selection]] which would say that individuals would only act for the benefit of closely genetically related relatives, and [[reciprocal altruism]] which would predict that individuals would only act for the benefit of those who will return the favor. ### <hr class="footnote"/> **Status**:: #EVER/SPROUT *edited 7:35 AM - July 08, 2022* **Topics**:: [[social control]], [[group selection]], [[prosocial behavior]] #### References ![[Darwin's Cathedral by David Sloan Wilson#citation]] > ![[10_Sources/books - Darwin's Cathedral#^291449826]] > ![[10_Sources/books - Darwin's Cathedral#^291449823]] > ![[10_Sources/books - Darwin's Cathedral#^291449827]]
