A theoretical treatment of one of the central problems in evolutionary biology, the evolution of social cooperation and conflict. Steven Frank approaches the problem with a highly original combination of approaches: game theory, classical models of natural selection, quantitative genetics, and kin selection. He combines the three measures of value used in biology - marginal value, reproductive value, and kin selection- into a coherant framework, providing the first unified analysis of social evolution in its full ecological and demographic context.
