Abstract

Darwin's original theory of biological evolution was purely qualitative. However, starting about 1920, R. A. Fisher, J. B. S. Haldane, and Sewalt Wright began to develop mathematical models of evolution. Thus, by today, mathematical evolutionary biology is very well developed. (see, for example. Wright (1969) for an overview.) However, there is an alternative approach to constructing quantitative theories of evolution: namely, computational modeling. The present paper describes a computational model of evolution involving kin selection. (For a review of mathematical models of kin selection, see Boorman and Levitt (1980).)
