How would you resolve the following problem? According to evolutionary theory, a ‘successful’ individual must somehow ensure that the next generation contains creatures more like itself than like others of the species. Worker bumblebees are ‘successful’ in that each generation of bumblebees contains a signifi cant proportion of workers, which exist to feed other members of their community. Worker bees thus pose a special problem for evolutionary theorists because the worker is the only sterile member of the bumblebee community. (Cf. Law Schools Admission Test, June 1985, B 3)
