Gould also is not one sided, and writes: "Sociobiologists have broadened their range of selective stories by invoking concepts of تلاؤم شامل and اصطفاء القرابة to solve (successfully I think) the vexatious problem of altruism—previously the greatest stumbling block to a Darwinian theory of social behavior. . . . Here sociobiology has had and will continue to have success. And here I wish it well. For it represents an extension of basic Darwinism to a realm where it should apply." Gould, 1980.
