Robot Evolution: EPFL and the University of Lausanne team up to explore Hamilton's law of kin selection. Published in PLoS on May 3rd, 2011, biology and robotics come together to help understand how altruistic genes get passed on from one generation to the next. To learn more about the labs: http://lis.epfl.ch and http://www.unil.ch/dee/page6763.html
@aberrantdecoder Yes. I think the point being made is that it is not the altruistic individual who benefits, but their "genes".
