Social Evolution: The Decline and Fall of Genetic Kin Recognition
@article{Gardner2007SocialET, title={Social Evolution: The Decline and Fall of Genetic Kin Recognition}, author={A. Gardner and S. West}, journal={Current Biology}, year={2007}, volume={17}, pages={R810-R812} }
Animals should benefit from the ability to recognise their kin, yet curiously this faculty is often absent. New theory confirms that genetic kin recognition is inherently unstable, explaining its rarity.
