Social evolution theory provides a wide array of successful evolutionary explanations for cooperative traits. However and surprisingly, number cases unexplained behaviour remain. Shouldn’t they cast doubt on the relevance theory, or even disconfirm it?

In order find out, we focus two main tenets social namely reciprocity kin selection. Reciprocity-based are extremely hard (dis)confirm. due, first multiple realisability explanatory processes, factors strategies, despite apparent reasons contrary; second, high quantity, limited availability data needed eliminate back up explanations. One our target vividly illustrates these limitations. Moreover, selection, while relatively easy in particular cases, seems enjoy more scope than previously thought. Overall, turns out be neither nor but heterogeneous scientific entity, composed parts that amenable (dis)confirmation others barely so.
