Multiple social encounters can eliminate Crozier’s paradox and stabilise genetic kin recognition

Crozier’s paradox suggests that genetic kin recognition will not be evolutionarily stable. The problem is that more common tags (markers) are more likely to be recognised and helped. This causes common tags to increase in frequency, and hence eliminates the genetic variability that is required for g...
