	Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection
		Frank, S. & Slatkin, M. Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection.
		Selection by density dependent competitive interactions provides a solution to a long-standing problem relating to Fisher's (1930) fundamental theorem of natural selection.
		From this formulation there grew the misinterpretation that the fundamental theorem deals with an overall increase in the average Malthusian parameter of a population (e.g., Wright, 1930, 1955; Li, 1955; Kempthorne, 1957; Crow and Kimura, 1956; Kimura, 1958, 1965; Kojima and Kelleher, 1960; Ewens, 1969).

		That was an illusion created by mis-applying Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of differential accrual (commonly mis-named as the "Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection").
		Truncation selection is difficult to sell, not because of the math, but because of a lack of empirical support, and because of a lack of theoretical justification that it is a plausible way for nature to behave.
		Andy claims the solutions (soft selection and truncation selection) are absent because they are too difficult and "it would be silly to spend a lot of time talking about them." As justification he identifies several specialized topics from evolutionary theory that are also seldom found in textbooks.

	EEB 245 - Review questions
		Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection allows us to predict how allele frequencies will change in response to selection.
		Disruptive selection and balancing selection are two of the three patterns of selection we discussed.Heterozygote advantage is another name for one of these patterns and heterozygote disadvantage is a name for the other.
		Under what circumstances might drift interact with selection to produce a population that is better adapted than one in which only natural selection is important in allele frequency change?

	George R. Price
		Firstly, rederiving W.D. Hamilton 's work on kin selection with a new Price equation; secondly introducing (with John Maynard Smith) the concept of the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS), a central concept in game theory and thirdly formalising Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection.
		W.D. Hamilton (1996) failed to recall when Price first contacted him, but says he Price had read Hamilton's 1964 papers on kin selection, and with no training in population genetics or statistics devised the Price equation, a covariance equation that generated the change in allele frequency of a population.
		Price was born in 1922, the younger brother of Edison.

	Malthusian Relativity. Selection by density dependent competitive interactions
		I first summarise some selection principles that form a technical background covering the game theoretical concept of Continuously Stable Strategies, long-term evolutionary stability, and Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection.
		When instead the relative fitnesses are frequency dependent the optimisation process of natural selection is better described by the game theoretical concepts of Evolutionary Stable Strategies (Maynard Smith and Price, 1973; Maynard Smith, 1982) and Continuously Stable Strategies (Eshel and Motro, 1981; Eshel, 1983).
		If instead the evolutionary equilibria are given by Continuously Stable Strategies the theory of Malthusian Relativity has shown that the density dependent constraints of interactive competition can select for complex life histories that are stable also on the time-scale of long-term evolution.
