Richard D. Alexander is an accomplished entomologist who turned his
attention to solving some of the most perplexing problems
associated with the evolution of human social systems. Using
impeccable Darwinian logic and elaborating, extending and adding to
the classic theoretical contributions of pioneers of behavioral and
evolutionary ecology like George Williams, William Hamilton and
Robert Trivers, Alexander developed the most detailed and
comprehensive vision of human social evolution of his era. His
ideas and hypotheses have inspired countless biologists,
anthropologists, psychologists and other social scientists to
explore the evolution of human social behavior in ever greater
detail, and many of his seminal ideas have stood the test of time
and come to be pillars of our understanding of human social
evolution. This volume presents classic papers or chapters by Dr.
Alexander, each focused on an important theme from his work.
Introductions by Dr. Alexander's former students and colleagues
highlight the importance of his work to the field, describe more
recent work on the topic, and discuss current issues of contention
and interest.
