“One reason that a truth and reconciliation process is needed for group selection is to return to the simplicity of the original problem and Darwin's solution. As Ed Wilson and I put it in our recent review article titled â€œRethinking the Theoretical Foundation of Sociobiologyâ€: Selfishness beats altruism within groups.
