However, I suggest that, to do justice to Hamilton's explicitly causal conception of social fitness, we should interpret sij in explicitly causal terms, as the causal effect of the jth individual on to assuming that the recipient's individual gene frequency predicts its social fitness only via correlations with actors and not via any other pathway ./cache/work_bascceymwrgitg6jrojsut75mi.pdf ./txt/work_bascceymwrgitg6jrojsut75mi.txt
