Multilevel selection and the theory of evolution
historical and conceptual issues /[electronic resource] :edited by Ciprian Jeler. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2018. - xi, 151 p. :digital ;24 cm.
1. Introduction; Ciprian Jeler -- Part I. Historical issues -- 2. The Roots of Multilevel Selection Theory; Abraham H. Gibson, Christina L. Kwapich, and Martha Lang -- 3. Tales of a failed scientific revolution; Mihail-Valentin Cernea -- 4. Equivalence, Interactors, and Lloyd's Challenge to Genic Pluralism; Ryan Ketcham -- Part II. Conceptual issues -- 5. Price's hierarchical equation and the notion of group fitness; Ciprian Jeler -- 6. A backward question about multilevel selection; Andreea Esanu -- Index.
This book puts multilevel selection theory into a much needed historical perspective. This is achieved by discussing multilevel selection in the first half of the twentieth century, the reasons for the energetic rejection of Wynne-Edwards' group selectionist stance in the 1960s, Elisabeth Lloyd's contribution to the units of selection debate, Price's hierarchical equation and its possible interpretations and, finally, species selection in macroevolutionary contexts. Another idea also seems to emerge from these studies; namely, that perhaps a more sure-footed position for multilevel selection theory would be acquired if we were to show a renewed interest in 'old group selection', i.e. in scenarios in which the differential reproduction of the groups themselves affects the frequencies of either individual-level or group-level traits. This book will be of interest to philosophers and historians of biology, as well as to theoretically inclined biologists who have an interest in multilevel selection theory.
