A model that unifies all types of selection (chemical, sociological, genetical, and every other kind of selection) may open the way to develop a general "Mathematical Theory of Selection" analogous to communication theory. [Note added by S. A. Frank: This previously unpublished manuscript was found among Dr. Price's papers when he died in 1975. In this paper Dr. Price did not provide a complete, general theory of selection. Rather, he argued why such a theory is needed and what some of its properties might be. The accompanying article provides commentary on this paper and describes Dr. Price's significant contributions to evolutionary genetics (S. A. Frank, 1995, J. theor. Biol. 175, 373-388).]
一个统一所有类型选择（化学选择、社会学选择、遗传学选择以及其他各类选择）的模型，可能为发展一种类似于通信理论的通用“选择数学理论”开辟道路。[S. A. 弗兰克附注：这份此前未发表的手稿是在普莱斯博士1975年去世后，在他的论文中发现的。在本文中，普莱斯博士并未提供一个完整、通用的选择理论。相反，他论述了为何需要这样一种理论以及它可能具有的一些特性。随附的文章对本文进行了评论，并描述了普莱斯博士对进化遗传学的重大贡献（S. A. 弗兰克，1995年，《理论生物学杂志》第175卷，第373 - 388页）。]
