Resumo

Este texto versa sobre a clássica discussão a respeito da dificuldade que a teoria da Seleção Natural tem em explicar o surgimento de indivíduos não férteis. Para tanto é apresentado o conceito de eusocialidade, as idéias de seleção de parentesco, altruísmo, altruísmo forçado e seleção de grupo.
