Sélection multi-niveaux
Sélection naturelle (Natural Selection) - « The differential contribution of offspring to the next generation by individuals of different genetic types but belonging to the same population. This is the basic mechanism proposed by Charles Darwini and is gererally regarded today as the main guiding force in evolution. » Dans E.O.Wilson. 1980. Sociobiology:The Abridged Edition.
