The life of George Price (1922-1975), the eccentric polymath genius and father of the Price equation, is used as a prism and counterpoint through which to consider an age-old evolutionary conundrum: the origins of altruism. This biographical project, and biography and history more generally, are considered in terms of the possibility of using form to convey content in particular ways. Closer to an art form than a science, this approach to scholarship presents both a unique challenge and promise.
乔治·普赖斯（1922 - 1975）的一生，这位古怪的博学科研天才兼普赖斯方程之父，被用作一面棱镜和对比点，借此思考一个古老的进化难题：利他主义的起源。这个传记项目，以及更广泛意义上的传记与历史，从以特定方式运用形式来传达内容的可能性方面进行了考量。相较于一门科学，这种学术研究方式更接近一种艺术形式，它既带来了独特的挑战，也蕴含着希望。
