Hamilton's rule lacks wide applicability, while the general version lacks explanatory power. The game-theoretic route5 to a version of Hamilton's rule begins with a simple evolutionary Price equation to a version of Hamilton's rule begins by leaving aside the second term, so as I will refer to this as the general version of Hamilton's rule (HRG). The special version of Hamilton's rule, HRS, is a game-theoretic result which they formalize their arguments that HRS, not HRG, is the version of Hamilton's rule arguments that HRG, not HRS, is the version of Hamilton's rule they have in mind. a linear regression model can be fitted to any set of population data19, HRG will still hold in Hamilton's rule as HRG rather than HRS, we buy generality at the expense of predictive HRG constitutes a very general condition that all processes of social evolution by natural ./cache/work_ethia4i6jnh2fad2dpdkf7wcbm.pdf ./txt/work_ethia4i6jnh2fad2dpdkf7wcbm.txt
