 In Memory of Bill Hamilton
Bill Hamilton, who has died aged 63 after weeks in intensive care following a biological expedition to the Congo, was the primary theoretical innovator in modern Darwinian biology, responsible for the shape of the subject today.
Hamilton realized that the unusual genetic structure of the bees resulted in the workers being so closely related to one another that, in slaving for the hive, they were essentially slaving for the persistence of their own gene pool.
Hamilton thus recast the concept of fitness, that is, an individual's success in reproducing, to incorporate the survival and reproductive success of the creature's close relatives -- hence the term inclusive fitness.

Hamilton is so busy anticipating President Clinton's unhappy fate as the American "Oscar Wilde," caught in the most celebrated sex scandal of his morally confusing times, that he fails to explain just how this smart but needy boy from Arkansas became the most powerful man in the world.
Hamilton defines the pre-presidential years by three great moral failings: Clinton's deceptive dodge of the Vietnam draft, his refusal to acknowledge his leadership failures during his first gubernatorial term, his reckless decision, while governor, to continue partying with his brother, Roger, who was awaiting sentencing for drug dealing.
Hamilton and Bill Clinton himself might be the only two people in the world who would consider Clinton's election to the presidency as momentous as the fall of the Soviet Union.

Bill's originality of mind often turned the barely articulated ideas of distinguished predecessors—ideas overlooked or neglected by all the rest of us—into magnificent theoretical edifices affecting our view of all life.
Similarly, Hamilton converted a maddeningly cryptic question about territory and sex ratios (the proportions of males and females in populations), posed by Fisher in 1930, into a broadly enlightening explanation of why the females of thousands of insect species have so many daughters and so few sons.
Bill argued that for such females to make more or hardier males than are sufficient merely to fertilize the eggs would be an unnecessary cost.

 Bill Hamilton  -  The Greatest Darwinian Since Darwin
Hamilton however realised that natural selection is not really about the survival or reproduction of individuals but is about the relative frequencies of different genes (alleles) in the population.
Thus Hamilton argued that, rather than compute fitness as the number of offspring left behind by an individual, we should compute `inclusive fitness' as the number of copies of one's genes that are transmitted to future generations, transmitted both by producing offspring as well as by aiding genetic relatives.
Hamilton proposed his theory as a simple rule, now known as Hamilton's rule, which states that altruism can evolve by natural selection if br_c > 0, where b is the benefit to the recipient of altruism, c is the cost to the altruist and r is the coefficient of genetic relatedness between altruist and recipient.
