V. C. Wynne-Edwards
Vero Copner Wynne-Edwards CBE, FRS, FRSE (4 July 1906 – 5 January 1997) was an English zoologist. He was best known for his advocacy of group selection, the theory that natural selection acts at the level of the group.
==Advocacy of group selection==
Wynne-Edwards was best known for espousing group selection, most notably in his 1962 book, ''Animal Dispersion in Relation to Social Behaviour''. In it, he argued that many behaviours are adaptations of the group, rather than adaptations of the individual, and that populations have adaptive self-regulatory mechanisms. His arguments were vigorously criticised by George C. Williams in his ''Adaptation and Natural Selection'', as well as by Richard Dawkins in ''The Selfish Gene''.
