Paladin what is the Myers-Briggs® MBTI® Serendip. Welcome to Powerweb. Green Beard Ethnic Nepotism. Sailer and Salter's advocacy of kin selected ethnic nepotism using similarity data faces a major theoretical hurdle.
Evolution by natural selection concerns the change of the frequency of a specific allele at a given locus. In this sense, an allele competes with other alleles at this locus. It does not matter whether the effects of an allele increase the frequency of some alleles at other loci, a gene simply has to augment its own frequency to be evolutionary successful. For this reason, an allele that influences an organism in a manner that this individual behaves altruistically towards other individuals which are genetically similar to it with respect to other loci is neither selected for nor against.
But genetic similarity theory focuses on overall genetic similarity, which basically includes all these irrelevant genes or loci. Culture Discussion Forums.
