Using This Unique, Multidisciplinary Approach, Frank Makes Major Advances In Understanding The Foundations Of Social Evolution.Frank Begins By Developing The Three Measures Of Value Used In Biologymarginal Value, Reproductive Value, And Kin Selection. He Then Combines These Measures Into A Coherent Framework, Providing The First Unified Analysis Of Social Evolution In Its Full Ecological And Demographic Context. Frank Also Extends The Theory Of Kin Selection By Showing That Relatedness Has Two Distinct Meanings. The First Is A Measure Of Information About Social Partners, With Close Affinity To Theories Of Correlated Equilibrium And Bayesian Rationality In Economic Game Theory. The Second Is A Measure Of The Fidelity By Which Characters Are Transmitted To Future Generationsan Extended Notion Of Heritability.Throughout, Frank Illustrates His Methods With Many Examples, Including A Complete Reformulation Of The Theory Of Sex Allocation.
