Uh . . .

Crow and Aoki (PNAS 1982, 1984) showed that you
can derive from it conditions for group selection to favor an allele,

Anybody could "derive" such using the skyhook logic of the current paradigm.

it has long been known that reciprocal altruism fits into the same

as well. So there is going to be no revolution in the algebra from this.

The issues don't involve algebra. They involve common sense.

The current paradigm is pretend science.
