	William D. Hamilton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		William Donald Hamilton is considered one of the prominent figures in modern biology and his theories concerning the genetic basis of behavior expanded Darwin's theory of natural selection past its original scope.
		William Hamilton was born in 1936 in Cairo, Egypt.
		Hamilton died of malaria which he contracted on a expedition to the Congo where he was seeking evidence to bolster a radical hypothesis that the AIDS epidemic can be traced to contaminated polio vaccines.

	In Memory of Bill Hamilton
		William Donald Hamilton, one of the towering figures of modern biology and the man who helped to unify Darwin's principles of natural selection with a rigorous understanding of Mendelian genetics, died on Tuesday in Oxford, England.
		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.

	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.

		Hamilton was sent to the local grammar school, and it was there, during his last year, that he launched his first literary magazine.
		Hamilton was playing his cards just a little bit closer to his chest than Boston realized, for he had already decided that the tenth anniversary issue was to be the last.
		Hamilton had given up his editorial positions at the TLS and The Observer some years before, and for a time earned his living on Grub Street, writing most regularly for the New Statesman, which gave him the opportunity to change direction slightly by employing him as its television reviewer.

		Hamilton defined the measurement of this as the coefficient of relationship, which can be stated as "the probability that an individual shares an allele identical by descent from a common ancestor with another individual" (Noonan, 1987).
		Hamilton (1964) wrote: The social behavior of a species evolves in such a way that in each distinct behavior-evoking situation the individual will seem to value his neighbors’ fitness against his own according to the coefficients of relationship appropriate to that situation.
		William Hamilton has shaken the evolutionary paradigms of the past and laid foundations for future studies into evolution and behavior.

		In the Sixties, with a few seminal papers, the British biologist William Donald Hamilton showed that, in reality, even altruism evolved by natural selection for a utilitarian reason: altruism helps genes as a global pool, even if at the expense of the survival of a specific individual.
		Hamilton's theory managed to explain why parents care for their offspring and why females are more choosy than males about their mates.

	W. D. Hamilton Summary
		William D. Hamilton, considered by many the most influential evolutionary biologist of his generation, is best known for his genetic explanation of altruism.
		Hamilton argued in the 1960's that humans and other animals have a genetic tendency to act in ways that favor the survival of their relatives, and thus, perpetuate their own genetic profile.
		Hamilton's determination of the selfish purpose of altruism continues Mendel's study of breeding that, over generations, follows mathematically predictable patterns.

	Modern Theorist Biographies - Section 1
		William Hamilton was a profoundly influential biologist whose classic solution of the problem of group-based animal behavior has become the most cited paper in all of science (Hamilton Memorial Website).
		He was among the first to recognize the power of a gene-based view of natural selection, and he used this view to resolve the apparent paradox of altruism and self-sacrifice, especially among kin, observed in some species.
		George Williams, a major contributor to modern evolutionary biology, was one of the first to appreciate the power of gene-based selection (along with William Hamilton).
