Index
W. D. Hamilton (1936-2000) was a Royal Society Research Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford. He is known throughout the world for his work on social evolution and sexual selection. He was a fellow of the Royal Society and a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Dr Mark Ridley is a Lecturer in the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford.
With Narrow Roads Volume 3, the editor and co-authors have ably complemented an orphaned autobiographic series, while simultaneously including relevant personal recollections. After these 'Last Words' of the closely involved, we now wait for the first independent Hamilton biography. Trends in Ecology and Evolution, Vol.21 No.12.
