Smaldino argues that evolutionary theories of social behavior do not adequately explain the emergence of group-level traits, including differentiation of roles and organized interactions among individuals. We find Smaldino's account to be commendable but incomplete. Our commentary focuses on a simple question that has not been adequately addressed: What is a group?
斯莫尔迪诺认为，社会行为的进化理论并不能充分解释群体层面特征的出现，包括角色的分化和个体之间有组织的互动。我们认为斯莫尔迪诺的论述值得称赞，但并不完整。我们的评论集中在一个尚未得到充分解决的简单问题上：什么是群体？
