Kin Selection vs. Multilevel Selection In The Social Conquest of Earth by Edward Wilson‚ he argues that kin selection is not a valid theory and proposes a better theory called multilevel selection. This has been seen as a controversial proposal because for generations previous to multilevel selection‚ kin selection was the standard explanation of evolution.
