George C. Price was an American geneticist and physician, most well-known for his work on the evolution of altruism in animal behavior. He was born on October 6, 1922, in New York City and passed away on January 6, 1975, in London.
Price studied physics and chemistry at University of Chicago and then pursued medical studies at Harvard University. He worked in various medical research positions before becoming interested in the evolution of altruism, which led him to develop a mathematical equation now known as the Price equation.
Price's work on the evolution of altruism challenged the prevailing views of the time, including the idea of group selection. His theory, now known as the Price equation, provided a new framework for understanding the evolution of altruistic behaviors in animals.
Despite struggling with mental health issues throughout his life, Price's work has had a lasting impact on the fields of evolutionary biology, genetics, and game theory. His contributions to the study of altruism and evolution continue to be influential in modern research.
