Insects' 'giant leap' reconstructed by founder of sociobiology
Date:1/1/2008
on is, he writes, not wrong but incomplete.
The view Wilson advocates is controversial because theoretical biologists have thus far been unable to create mathematical models that demonstrate the strong colony-level selection that Wilson postulates. Any theory about eusociality has to explain why selection acting on individuals does not lead some to undermine the colony by reproducing themselves. According to some of Wilsons critics, the theory he now espouses relies on unacknowledged individual-level selection rather than group selection.
