Direct selection on one gene disturbs the evolutionary dynamics of associated genes. Recent years have seen the development of a multilocus methodology for modeling evolution at arbitrary numbers of gene positions with arbitrary dominance and epistatic relations, mode of inheritance, genetic linkage, and recombination. We show that the approach is conceptually analogous to social evolutionary methodology, which focuses on selection acting on associated individuals. In doing so, we (1) make explicit the links between the multilocus methodology and the foundations of social evolution theory, namely, Price’s theorem and Hamilton’s rule; (2) relate the multilocus approach to levels‐of‐selection and neighbor‐modulated‐fitness approaches in social evolution; (3) highlight the equivalence between genetical hitchhiking and kin selection; (4) demonstrate that the multilocus methodology allows for social evolutionary analyses involving coevolution of multiple traits and genetical associations between nonrelatives, including individuals of different species; (5) show that this methodology helps solve problems of dynamic sufficiency in social evolution theory; (6) form links between invasion criteria in multilocus systems and Hamilton’s rule of kin selection; (7) illustrate the generality and exactness of Hamilton’s rule, which has previously been described as an approximate, heuristic result.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"American Naturalist","date_updated":"2021-01-12T07:55:35Z","quality_controlled":0,"page":"207 - 226","doi":"10.1086/510602","issue":"2","citation":{"short":"A.
