| Abstract: | A neo-Darwinian heuristics for decisions involving altruism is hypothesized in this article. Following W.Hamilton's (1964) analysis of inclusive fitness, the assumption of this study is that tendencies to help another person are selected against, except when the donor and recipient are related and share genes underlying these tendencies. The heuristic is demonstrated in several studies involving hypothetical decisions to help. |
