The Selfish Researcher Gene

The Hybridation of the Selfish Gene Algorithm

This paper proposes an improvement of a new general approach for optimization algorithms in the Evolutionary Computation field. The approach is inspired by the Selfish Gene Theory, an interpretation of the Darwinian theory given by the biologist Richard Dawkins, in which the basic element of evolution is the gene, rather than the individual. The paper analyses the performances of this algorithm...

How Hungry Is the Selfish Gene?

We examine resource allocation in step-households in the United States and South Africa to test whether child investments vary according to economic and genetic bonds between parent and child. In the United States, households spend less on food when a child is raised by a nonbiological mother. The reduction is identical for step, adoptive, and foster households, consistent with the hypothesis t...

A formal theory of the selfish gene.

Adaptation is conventionally regarded as occurring at the level of the individual organism. In contrast, the theory of the selfish gene proposes that it is more correct to view adaptation as occurring at the level of the gene. This view has received much popular attention, yet has enjoyed only limited uptake in the primary research literature. Indeed, the idea of ascribing goals and strategies ...

Hypothesis: the research page. One researcher, two researcher, three researcher, four. Five researcher, six researcher, seven researcher, more!

Restrictions in the implementation of research from the perspective of researcher students against students non-researcher

Background and purpose of study:Today, the important role of research in the development of societies is known to all. In fact, research stimulates societies to grow. Universities of the birthplace of novelties.  Therefore, developing countries attempt to pay heed to the role of universities in national progress.Unfortunately, insufficient attention has been paid to students’ potenti...
