✦ Synopsis

FELDMAN and ESHEL (1982) have introduced a precise two locus genetical model to examine the spread of "selfish" alleles in a genetically "altruistic" population. They have shown that, with complete linkage between t h e gene affecting "altruism" and another determining parental "interference", the development of "selfishness" may be prevented. Furthermore, "interference", may allow the development of "altruism" in a "selfish" population. Small population results illustrate how a deterministic analysis may not provide a satisfactory description of how particular rare events occur. The usefulness of major gene models of this type is discussed.

Models of the packaging of offspring predict that parental fitness is maximized by following a set of rules, including the rule to invest the minimal amount in each offspring. Offspring can maximize their fitness by demanding more resources than the parent is selected to give, leading to parent-offs
