I. Motivation
Cooperative behaviors are widespread.
Why?

An individual’s survivorship and reproduction relative to other individuals in the population (Direct Fitness)
Hamilton’s Rule (1964):
Inclusive fitness =Direct fitness + indirect fitness
Kin selection: natural selection favoring the indirect component of fitness
(Benefit x relatedness) – Cost > 0; Br > C; r > C/BBenefit to recipient and cost to altruistRelatedness: probability that homolgous alleles in 2
individuals are identical by descent
II. Theory of Altruism

Computing relatedness with pedigrees
The arrows describe paths by which genes can be identical by descent

IV. Special case of Sociality True or Eusociality = 1. overlap in generations between parents and offspring 2. cooperative brood care 3. specialized castes of nonreproductive individuals

Haplodiploidy produces unusual coefficients of relationship

Haplo-diploidy and Sister-Sister relationship
mother father
r = ½ ½ 1 1
sister sister
Sisters on averageshare ½ genes through mother& all of theirgenes throughfather(1/2 + 1)/2 = ¾
Or
¼ + ½ = 3/4
