W. D. Hamilton of the London School of Economics first developed this theory, building on the earlier work of Wynne-Edwards. Hamilton noticed that male Hymenopterans develop from unfertilized eggs and only have one copy of each chromosome, which means that sisters share more genes with each other then they would share with their own daughters.
