Kin Selection Theory

Famous quotes containing the words kin, selection and/or theory:

    “For little boys are rancorous
    When robbed of any myth,
    And spiteful and cantankerous
    To all their kin and kith.
    But little girls can draw conclusions
    And profit from their lost illusions.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    “Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.”
    —Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989)

    “No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.”
    —André Gide (1869–1951)
