The Altruism Equation: Seven Scientists Search for the Origins of Goodness Hardcover - 2006
by Lee Alan Dugatkin
From the rear cover
"The Altruism Equation is an important book in many different ways. It is important because it tackles a significant problem--namely, the levels at which natural selection operates. It is important because it tells a history never before revealed. And it is most important because the author's analysis lets us all move forward on these issues, with new insights and tools of discovery. I recommend it very highly."--Michael Ruse, Florida State University, author of The Evolution-Creation Struggle
"This wonderfully written book tells the history of a conceptual revolution in evolutionary biology that fundamentally changed the way scientists think about behavior. Although I do have a slightly different perspective here and there, I enthusiastically recommend this book to everyone who wants to understand the evolutionary roots of altruism and family. This fascinating book is a page-turner for scientists and lay persons alike."--Bert Hölldobler, author (with Edward O. Wilson) of the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Ants
