KIN SELECTION THEORY. “Its abstract parameters can be jury-rigged to fit any set of empirical data, but not built to predict them in any detail, nor have they been able to guide, with a few exceptions, research in profitable new directions. If good theory rests on the three-legged stool of generality, precision, and realism, kin selection theory is strong on the first of these qualities but ineffectually weak on the last two.”
