Natural Selection: Group selection

Posted in Altruism, Group selection, Natural Selection, science by Satya on February 19, 2009

Selfishness beats altruism within a group.

Groups of altruistic individuals beat groups of Selfish people.

A group without altruists and with only freeloaders will sink and die. While freeloaders reproduce more, it is the altruists that ensure species survival.
