-'''Social evolution''' is a subdiscipline of [[evolutionary biology]] that is concerned with social behaviors that have fitness consequences for individuals other than the actor. It is also a subdiscipline of [[sociology]] that studies evolution of social systems.<ref>Grinin, L., Markov, A., & Korotayev, A. (2013).

+*[[Sociobiology]], explaining social behavior in terms of evolution
+*[[Cultural evolution]], an evolutionary theory of social change
-Social behaviors can be categorized according to the fitness consequences they entail for the actor and recipient.
+*[[Evolution of eusociality]], the evolution of highly cooperative behaviors in animal species
+*''[[Social Evolution]],'' an 1894 book by Benjamin Kidd
-* Mutually beneficial – a behavior that increases the direct fitness of both the actor and the recipient
+{{disambiguation}}
-* Selfish – a behavior that increases the direct fitness of the actor, but the recipient suffers a loss
-* Altruistic – a behavior that increases the direct fitness of the recipient, but the actor may suffer a loss
-* Spiteful – a behavior that decreases the direct fitness of both the actor and the recipient
-This classification was proposed by [[W. D. Hamilton]], arguing that [[natural selection]] favors mutually beneficial or selfish behaviors. Hamilton's insight was to show how [[kin selection]] could explain [[altruism]] and [[spite]].<ref>Hamilton, W.D. (1964). The genetical evolution of social behaviour, I & II. J. Theor. Biol. 7, 1–52.</ref><ref>Hamilton WD 1970. "Selfish and spiteful behaviour in an evolutionary model". Nature 228: 1218–20.</ref>
-Social evolution is also often regarded (especially, in the field of [[social anthropology]]) as evolution of [[social system]]s and structures.<ref>see, e.g., ''Evolution and culture''.

-In 2010, Harvard biologist [[E. O. Wilson]], a founder of modern [[sociobiology]], proposed a new theory of social evolution.<ref name=Keim>{{cite web |first=Brandon |last=Keim |url=https://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/08/kin-selection-challenged/ |title=E.O.
