Abstract
The evolutionarily stable strategy of mutual help between relatives having unequal fertilities is studied in a kin selection model, which also takes into account competition between kins and the possibility of reciprocation. It turns out that competition and reciprocation can establish ESSs which are completely different from those expected by Hamilton's basic theory.
