Nature 471:E1-E4.
- Nowak et al.1 are incorrect to state that inclusive fitness requires a number of "stringent assumptions" such as pairwise interactions, weak selection, linearity, additivity and special population structures
- Hamilton's original formulations did not make all these assumptions
- generalizations have shown that none of them is required
- inclusive fitness is as general as the genetical theory of natural selection
