Hamilton, then only a PhD student, completed his work in London. It was based on Haldane 's idea, but Hamilton showed that applied to all gene frequencies. Although initially obscure, it is now obligatorially cited in biology books. The paper's Peer Review process led to disharmony between one of the reviewers, John Maynard Smith and Hamilton. Hamilton thought that Maynard Smith had deliberately kept the paper from publication so that Maynard Smith could claim credit for the concept of kin selection. The American George R. Price found Hamilton's paper, and finding trouble in its implications for Sociobiology , tried to disprove it but ended up rederiving his work through the Price Equation . REFERENCES
